I think Celestia and Luna were born separate from mortal lives, like supernatural beings or something. Given that they took up the celestial body duties from other unicorns, I'd say that they're certainly more powerful than any average unicorn could be and can't die like one. I'm guessing they appeared when they were needed most to take up magic responsiblity, like Jesus or something.
