“The Star of Christmas” was made in 2002 by director Tim Hodge. The movie stars Dan Anderson and Matthew Hodge. Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber appear as Cavis Appythart and Millward Phelps, respectively-two jingle writers based loosely on Gilbert and Sullivan.
The setting is 1880s London, and they've written a musical called “The Princess and the Plumber”, which they plan to open on Christmas Eve. Cavis thinks the production will “teach London how to love”. But children at nearby St. Bart's Church are planning a Nativity play for the same evening, and they plan to feature the Star of Christmas, a religious artifact unseen by the public for decades. The London Post Gazette writes a front-page story about the nativity play and the Star, and Cavis and Millward hatch a plan to make their musical better than the children's play. In the end, they learn about the true meaning of Christmas.
There is also a poem on the star of Christmas which describes the heavenly body as a diamond, dazzling the world with its brilliance. It twinkles in the farthest corners of the corporeal frame to signify the lord God Himself who is born in a manger and rests in comfortable slumber. Even in the stable, He lies down in regal splendor like a king. The star of Bethlehem is urged to keep shining perpetually so as to instill in people the virtues of compassion and fraternity. The Poem about the star of Christmas at
Christmas Carnivalsteaches us to revere the King of Kings so that the foundation of our faith towards Him never falters.
