Hey, I'm just curious: You're probably familiar with the Disney classic "When You Wish Upon a Star" from Pinocchio. Well, I've had a listen recently and I was just wondering where that particular expression originated from. Whether wishing on a star or falling star, it sounds like an old religious practice to my ears. Even if it's not, there's still some level of superstition associated with it. I would gladly appreciate any information on its origin and/or groups practiced by and beliefs of said group(s). Points go to the first reasonably thorough answerer. First reasonably thorough, meaning outdoing a preceeding answer won't guarantee points if it's much of the same information. Thanks!
