Star of Bethlehem Necklace
Thank you for your gift / donation.
1. The 14 points represent the 14 generations
The Gospel of Matthew describes three groups of fourteen generations leading to the birth of Jesus:
1. From Abraham to David 14 generations
2. From David to the Babylonian Exile 14 generations
3. From the Exile to Jesus Christ 14 generations
So the star symbolizes the fulfillment of salvation history across these three cycles of 14.
This makes the star a symbol of God’s promise being completed in Bethlehem, the birthplace of the Messiah.
2. Symbol of the “Light of the World”
The multiple points of the star also represent the radiating light of Christ, who Christians believe is the Light of the World.
The 14 rays spreading out from the center mark the spot where:
“The Word became flesh”
(John 1:14)
3. Protection and blessing for pilgrims
Historically, pilgrims believed the 14-point star offered:
• Blessing
• Protection
• A reminder that Christ’s light reaches all directions of the world
This is why so many Christian homes, churches, and pilgrims love the symbol.
4. Connection to Bethlehem’s identity
The star is one of the strongest symbols of Bethlehem.
It appears on:
• Entrances to the city
• Churches
• Christmas decorations
• Municipal emblems
• Gifts from Bethlehem
The Star of Bethlehem Necklace Communicates:
“This is the place where the promise was fulfilled.”
