Well, quite honestly, we may celebrate Jesus' birthday today, mostly because the catholic cult wanted to steal a pagan holiday, but He was actually probably born in the summer.
I suppose its the thought that counts? It certain;y doesn't harm anything?
Never found anything historically biblical except John the Baptist being beheaded. Herald was looking to kill all male children from birth to twelve-year-old. I still have a holiday.
Actually, no for many reasons we know this. Also, they put Christmas next to the winter solstice intentionally. Christmas is almost certainly NOT his actual birthday.
Bible does not say when, travel in winter was rare, Shepards would not be in fields in Dec., The date of December 25 was established by the emperor Constantine in 336 AD
There is much more you can take it from here but the reason the EMPEROR chose them was due overlap the pagen holiday.
thank you for the possibly Jesus. I'd say, if the bible is correct, probably not. lambs are born in the spring (most) and in the fall(some) but not the winter solstice. Or, at least that's what I've been told. I'm a city girl, what do I know about lambs?
The time of year the census was taken. It wouldn't have been taken in the middle of the winter. I may be wrong about Spring, it may have been in Autumn. Actually that would probably make more sense.
Of course, there is no way to reconcile any known census with any reasonably proposed birth year. Also, no Roman census would have required people to return to their home town.
The fiction goes deeper than just the December date.
I agree with you on that. It also may be that the census may have been used as some sort of literary device. So, it does come down to what one believes. Sorry to have been blunt handed in my statements.
But can we agree that the church usurped the celebration of Winter Solstice for their own ends?
Jesus, although a real human, was no God & wasn't white. His birthday appears to be in September but it's unsure coz Jesus was a very common name at that time. At the time Jesus of Nazareth was supposed to have been imprisoned by the Romans, there were 31 Jesus' in prison.

P.S. Jesus birthday was most likely in March NOT December. It was moved several times to bring in other cultures and their religious ideologies. Winter Solstice is what Christmas was moved to replace.
And the Roman (previously Persian) God Mithras. He died and came back after 3 days, healed the sick and all that good old Northern Hemisphere Sun God myth malarkey.
And me💁🏻♀️. My present to myself was staying home to watch some FIS skiing & snuggle with our dogs & cats. No cooking, baking or cleaning. A pot of Earl Grey to cap off a perfect day
That was aimed at the KING, who recently rented a property to the NHS that had been used by the Met. Only he decided to drastically increase the rental charges in doing so.
Anwar Sadat? 21-Rabi al-awwal-1337 (there's always a pedant lurking on social media) 🤨 Today it's me. Hey, thanks for the list, what a great Christmas table to be at.
Both Alistair Cook and Marcus Trescothick - English male batters born on Christmas Day have more combined test runs than English male batters born on any other day.
Wow-someone who knows who Louise Bourgeois is (my BFA is in Sculpture). Someone who was doing a residency and staying in the mansion @ Storm King told me Louise could smoke a cigarette with her foot! (can't make this stuff up!)
Retroactively fulfilling prophesy; “The real reason for the selection of Dec. 25 seems to have been that it is precisely nine months after the traditional date of Jesus' crucifixion. … the theological idea that Jesus was conceived and crucified on the same date 9 months later.
The overwhelming majority of historians believe that Jesus existed. And "Christians made up Dec 25 as the birthday" and "Jesus couldn't have been born on Dec 25" are not the same thing.
He almost certainly existed, and there's a roughly one-in-365 chance that he was born on December 25. (Possibly several times that, depending on how you define the question.)
Not if you follow the clues in the story--the Census (why M&J were in Bethlehem), & shepherds out in the pastures w flocks, which wouldn't have happened in December.
Okay, but you said he "was definitely NOT born on December 25," which is very different from what you're saying now. (And what you're saying now is entirely consistent with what *I* said.)
My lesser known little sister who we affectionately call “The Doll” or “Dolly Noel” still is the greatest gift 🎁 ever. She’s an awesome human who takes great care of our earth. 🌎 (Humdinger is a favorite word in our family!)
Jesus never existed. Faked myth. Happy Winter Solstice! One holiday which unites us all, instead of celebrating religious holidays which divide us! celebrate the true OG of all those based on!

also there were two astronomical events that could have produced the Star of Bethlehem in those three years.

When you get to my age you’ll understand better.
Almost definitely not Jesus. From what we know of him, not a Capricorn
Happy birthday to the 80s female Bowie.

It's possible that Jesus was born in the spring, summer, winter, or fall. There's no way to say with certainty.
But can we agree that the church usurped the celebration of Winter Solstice for their own ends?
My own view is that there's no way of being confident of the date or season of Jesus's birth.

you know really a little about xMas...
Christians STOLE that date purely out of convenience. it has nothing to do with the actual birhdate of Jesus.
besides - theres no real proof that he ever existed,but that wasnt my point.😆
the 24-12 was never Jesus birthday.
But that's also just a guess.... look - even THAT is wrong.
in Germany its the 24-12, not the 25-12.
ITS ALL MADE UP with that date.
nothing real.
AND the Christians just stole that feast, thats a fact.
And definitely NOT Jesus.
Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t. It isn’t certain.
But the Dec 25 date was chosen by the early church.
His brother, Paulo, was born 4 years later on the same day.
