We are currently restoring and redecorating our 100 year Church just up the street at Holy Rosary Wea Catholic Church. At one point of time the church had the Star of Bethleham on it’s High Altar. I would like to find the excact spot of where the North Star is on Dec. 25,1906. Preferrably when Christ was born. This is when our church was actually rebuilt from a lightning strike and tornado. I would really appreciate any help you could give me, I would be willing to do some research.
Thank you
