These symbols brighten homes and inspire reflection ... The stars crowning the Christmas tree trace back to the Star of Bethlehem, symbolising the light that guided the Wise Men to Jesus.

The Moravian star, well-known to the Winston-Salem community and Old Salem, could soon become the official state star.

Although it can grow in partial shade, Star of Bethlehem prefers a spot with full sun, meaning at least six hours of direct sunlight on most days. Its flowering will be better in full sun.
