Here Taylor Caldwell, describes his infant self as a bit homely, with firey red hair and vivid blue eyes.
His father, a Pharisee, contemplates his feeling that something momentous has happened and the star that could be seen from Jerusalem over the area of Bethlehem, as noted by his cousin in a letter.
