Jesus b-day

ha Asked by calderoh 11 months ago, 16 answers.

when was Jesus Christ really born?

Unfortunately, Jesus' birthday was not recorded, so we cannot know the exact day of His birth. There were pagan festivals in honor of the Roman God, Saturn, during the month of December. So, December 25 became the recognized day to celebrate Christ's birth as a Christian alternative to the rituals of the day.

I do not hesitate to say that Jesus does not care which day we choose to celebrate His birth as long as we remember Him throughout the whole year. Having one day set aside in special tribute to Him is good. It must pain Him, though, when people claim to be celebrating His birth but hardly think of Him on Christmas Day as they hurriedly prepare gifts and fancy meals and rush through their traditions. Next Christmas--and every day--pause in the middle of your hustle and bustle to reflect on that little baby, born in a stable, who came to save the world--and you.

Merry Christmas !!

Best Guess: September 29, 5 B.C.

A very interesting read:

I agree with the spring time, because of the sheep and lambs, etc.

amblessed is right about one thing: there is no record of Jesus birth (or his life and death, for that matter) outside the Gospels and a few other NT writings. The article posted by ethmer is an interesting read, but again is based entirely on the Gospel accounts which themselves were written decades after Jesus is said to have lived and have not survived in their original form.

Jesus falls into the same category as King Arthur. There are vague indications that the person may have lived, but if he did, his life has become so infused with myth and legend that we may never know for certain.

kingofpop is right

some with amblessed, but there is still one thing I'ld have to disagree with amblessed. No I doubt he would mind when people celebrated his birthday, but if he was against paganism then wouldn't he indeed mind that it was on one of their holidays?

Jesus probably never even existed, but if he did, there is a 1/365 chance he was born on Dec 25.

-_-
only when the Pope declared it as so. But again, it was believed to be sometime in spring. That's coming from biblical experts.
