Camels Follow the Star

Colorful Camels Follow a Fantastic Flower Star

Here are two very colorful camels following a wondrous flower-like star in this painting done by a child at a day care center in Karachi, Pakistan for children who are disabled. We don't know where their riders are but these camels appear to have also gotten the message that the star announces the birth of God's child and are following its light, heads up high.

What kind of feelings does this painting evoke in you? How do you think the child envisions the story of Jesus' birth?

Here's another kind of question for you. How many magi and how many camels followed that star in order to come and worship the new ruler of Israel?
