light and dark

I can't believe that I just made the following connection.  When Christ was born, the signs in the heavens were a new star in Jerusalem and a night with no darkness in America.  His coming was marked by extra light, which is a perfect symbol because he is the light of the world.  The signs of his death were darkness and storms on the earth.  When the world rejected his light by killing the Savior, the sign was extra darkness.  What perfect symbols to show us where to find light and truth in our lives.
