Yes.
The prophets proclaimed that a light in the sky would guide the wise men to the new Messiah.
The wise men followed that 'star', that 'light' to Bethlehem.
Afterward, that 'star' crashed into the desert. Some native there picked it up and started worshipping it.
The crumbling remains of the meteor are the main focus of worship and reside here.
This is the basis of their religion. A burnt out meteorite.
