A star rises from Jacob - this prophetic word was followed by the three wise men from the East. Sieger Köder tells the story of their long journey to the stable in Bethlehem through his drawings and texts: their reflections on what gift to bring the child, the animals in the desert that followed them, their visit to King Herod, and finally their arrival at the child in the manger. Nothing superfluous, only the essentials are depicted. Köder's subtle, underlying humor shines through the entire story. Beyond personal contemplation, his drawings and texts delight people of all ages in church services, during Advent and Christmas celebrations, at the sending of the star singers, in religious education, and many other occasions.
