Story of the star of Bethlehem for children

The night the baby Jesus was born in a manger in Bethlehem, all the shepherds in the area came to give him gifts. Some brought him little sheep, so that his wool could shelter him. Others, firewood, to keep alive the fire that lit and warmed the manger. And other shepherds carried large bouquets of flowers to adorn the portal.

But there was a little shepherd, Clara, who was very poor and had nothing to carry. Neither sheep, nor firewood nor flowers. He was so embarrassed to appear without anything before the baby Jesus, who decided not to go. He supported himself in the well of his house and began to cry. Then, he saw a very bright star at the bottom of the well. It was the reflection of a star that lit the sky with force. Clara did not think twice: she threw the bucket into the well and picked up the reflection of the star. Her bucket, filled with water, showed the star shining, and she thought it would be a fantastic gift for the baby Jesus.

So Clara went to the portal of Bethlehem very happy, with her star reflected in the wooden cube. Every now and then he would look at her, see if he was still there. He walked fast, so as not to lose his star. When he reached the manger, he showed the cube to the baby Jesus, but the star ... was gone. The roof of the manger covered the sky, and the star was no longer reflected. However,

the child God smiled . Clara began to cry very sadly, and suddenly, one of her tears began to shine with great force. It detached itself from its face and, transformed into a star, it rose to the highest point of the sky. He was the brightest star of all. the most beautiful. Thanks to this star, the rest of the inhabitants knew how to find the place where the baby Jesus had just been born.Since then, in all the nativity scenes and Christmas trees, a star is placed, which recalls the story of Clara, the shepherdess who, without having anything, gave the boy Jesus the most beautiful thing: his love.
