Here is some additional info that you may be interested in on the origin of the Moravian star.
Originating in the Moravian boarding schools in
Germany
in the nineteenth century as an exercise in geometry, the stars were carried throughout the world by missionaries and other church workers. Now, from the Himalayas to the
Caribbean
, the star proclaims the hope of Advent. While we are most familiar with the white star, the first star had alternating red and white points. Stars colors have also included red and yellow, white and yellow, and a yellow "starburst" with a red center.
Whatever its form, the star reminds us of God, who caused the light to shine out of darkness and of the light which is the life of humanity. It reminds us of the promise of Abraham that his descendants would be more numerous than the stars; we are reminded of the star that pointed to the "great and heavenly light from
Bethlehem
's manger shining bright." The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. This is the message of the Advent star, which also points to Jesus, who said, "I am the bright and Morning Star." It is the star of promise, the star of fulfillment, and the star of hope.
When I bought my first star though, I just liked the beauty of it.   I like the meaning too.     When I built my house seven years ago I installed 18 stars and they all look fantastic. really unify house.
Some are grouped together over dining table and others are single stars and some are on outside covered patio.
Good luck on bidding.
