And who CARES what His zodiac sign might have been?

Well probably the Magi (if in fact the biblical "Wise Men" were actually "Magi".)

Magi were Persian astrologers among their other duties. Besides what would count would be Farsi astrology, not the bastardized Greek astrology of today.

Interesting... that the Magi were Persian (Zoroastrian)astrologers.

What moved them to follow the star, to offer gifts to the Infant Jesus?

When warned in a dream not to report back to Herod, but to return to their land by another route, just what tidings did the Magi carry back to their native Persia?

It is my belief that Zoroastrianism was no enemy of Christianity, unlike the invader Islam that later conquered Iran.

A very joyous Nativity to all!
