Matthew 2:9 Douay-Rheims

Who having heard the king, went their way; and behold the star which they had seen in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was.

Ambrose of Milan

A.D. 339–397 Patristic

(in Luc. ii. 45.) The star is the way, and the way is Christ; and according to the mystery of the incarnation, Christ is a star. He is a blazing and a morning-star. Thus where Herod is, the star is not seen; where Christ is, there it is again seen, and points out the way.
