Today Advent begins and we fold the star that then appeared in the sky and that was later seen by the three Kings. It is not a difficult folding job at all, but the neater you cut and fold, the more beautiful your star will be. Today is no sunny  day, when the sun shines the star lights up beautifully. But today you can see very well how the star was folded ;)
