Why is the song called "O Little Star Of Bethlehem" when the star was huge enough to be seen from miles off?

It was like that deal where you hold up your fingers and pinch them together and say, "I'm crushing your head."





You know it's big, but it seems little.

Why is the song called "O Little Star Of Bethlehem" when the star was huge enough to be seen from miles off?
When a human looks at the stars in the sky with a human eye, the stars look small, So therefore to the writer it was The Little Star of Bethlehem
Reply:all stars can be seen for miles. I could see the big dipper when I was in Saudi Arabia and the southern cross when I was on an island south of the equator.
Reply:Two reasons I can think of:


A star, viewed from Earth, is far from huge.


The star is being compared with another star of Bethlehem - the child Jesus.
