Quote:25th December year in and year out we celebrate the birth of Jesus. So they were able to figure out his birthday. I have no problem with that... well apart from the story of shepherds being out and about at night in the middle of winter

Umm, actually December 25th is the winter solstice. The Christians stole it from the Roman god Deus Sol Invictus.(the invincible sun god) Jesus is thought to have been born in spring. Nobody knows in what year. I have no idea why it never occurred to anyone to just ask his mum.The year is estimated at between 7 and 4 bce. Similarly, Jesus' date of death is not recorded,which has always puzzled me.Saul and the Gospel authors had two calendars to use,the Jewish and the Roman,either would have been perfectly clear.

December 21st is the winter solstice.
