A spiritual birthday star map
Many people remember the night their faith began: a prayer at a kitchen table, an altar call, a quiet moment in a car. A spiritual birthday star map shows the stars above that place on that night, at the minute you remember.
Some families call it a spiritual birthday, a rebirth day or the night I was saved. Whatever name you use, the print marks it the way a birthday is marked, with a date, a place and a few words.

Which night, time and place to choose
Use the night you remember and the city or town where you were. If you wrote the date in a Bible, a journal or a baptism card, start there.
If you don't know the exact day, ask the person who was with you, or check an old card or a church record. A few days off changes little to the eye, and the Moon is the main difference.
For the time, use the hour you remember. A late-evening prayer gives a dark sky you can see, but a daytime moment works too. The map shows the stars that were above you, even when the sun hid them.
To give one to someone else, ask them for the night, or ask the person who was there when it happened.

Mark the day every year
Many people celebrate this day each year, like a birthday. A print gives the night a place on the wall. For a milestone year, add the number to the title, such as ten years or twenty-five years.
A gift for a friend or a mentor
A spiritual birthday is a good moment to tell someone what you saw in them. Ask them for the night, write a message about what you've seen change, and sign it.
A framed print is ready to hang the day it arrives. A print only costs less and suits a person who likes to choose their own frame.
A theme for the night
Aurora is a deep green that sits well with wood and plants. Eclipse is a deep blue, and Midnight is a near black with light stars. Starlight is a light paper with dark ink for bright rooms.
Turn on the constellation lines if you want to show the shapes in the sky.
