Jesus was actually born sometime in October. The 25th December is not the actual day of his birth. We know the time of his death.

@posrev We dont even know if he existed, let alone have "real" dates... that said what historic source do you feel would dictate an october date?
@freemo
It was autumn (fall) when Jesus was born. I will have to find the scripture.

He was born in Bethlehem. So it must have been autumn (fall)

@posrev Im not sure i follow. Why must it be fall if he was born in Bethlehem?

The animals were still outside as it was still not too cold. Jesus was born in a stable for animals as the hotel was full. The three wise men followed the star to find Jesus

@posrev In 60 degree weather (the norm for Bethlehem in December) you'd expect animals to be outside and mary to be comfortable in a manger. 60 isnt that cold.

Whether you believe what is in The Bible is true or not. You've got to admit it's an amazing story

@posrev I find all the holy texts, the bible, torah, qua'ran, Libri Quinti Mysterium, and the countless others to all be valuable and interesting reads. No doubt.
@posrev A quick search suggests there is no context in the bible for a date other than the star of bethleham which would suggest a date in spring based on the theory that it was a comet known to show around that time period.
