Jesus was born on Christmas day…just not in December…most likely February, according to weather conditions in Bethlehem at the time.

Thanks for being on my side Ken.

Many of Christianity’s practices are influenced by pagan religions. Enjoyed the read

Very good poem!

Interesting post.

good work..excellent post

Absolutely beautifully written, but I agree I don’t believe it occurred on the 25th of December, because of time frame by the nissan calendar used overseas.

I’ve read that it most likely occurred in the spring. We will never know exactly what day it was. The important thing is that we still celebrate it.

i heard on the news this week about jesus being born on the 6th dec but as you said it was man who moved it to the 25th dec, i also agree with ken, when i was ????an age anyway, i heard he was born in feb not in dec, thanks for this topic.

This is a wonderful read. I always heard that he was born on Dec 25.

I don’t think the date matters, it is the fact that He was born that we should focus on.

This is so true!!

Not 25 Dec definitely. I regret with the decision to practice pagan celebration, however date is not the matter.

Yes Jesus wasn’t born on December 25. He was born at a time when the climate was cold. I think Ken is right; may be around January or Feb.

Yes, I too always heard that it was an early spring month like February or March, and that they moved the date to December to try and override the pagan solstice holiday. Great poem.

Jesus was a great man, no matter the date of his birth! It is his resurrection (easter) that should be the BIG holiday. That shows us that our sins can be forgiven so that we may join the Lord!

Great write, interesting and true..

I think the December date came from that being the slow time of year when the harvest was in and there was little work to be done so it was a time of holiday and festivity. An intersting and well written piece.

Wonderful poem…

Now I’m confused as to when Jesus was exactly born.

Great Work!

Yes I do agree there has been a lot of man made stories when it comes to Prophet Jesus. I just wish it would be cleared out for everyone to have the right story Nice work

Good poem. Excellent read. ( :

Astronomers have pegged the date at June 17th, in the year 02 BC, actually, due to the “shining star of the East” that figures so prominently in the story.
