ok gonna add my 2 cents here lol even though its totaly irelevant ... over the years in my search for when Jesus was born, most respected or credited biblical scholers believe Jesus was actually born around spring early summer .. the main facts being,
1, the census was always believed to be taken in the spring i.e March, April, May ...around the same time we still collect our census up this day.
2, acording to the Bible, the shepherds where in the fields with their sheep, sheep lamb in spring .. and the shepherds were known to sleep with their flock while it was lambing time as not to loose any lambs or valuable sheep.
3.most children were born in biblical times around the spring, as up to harvest time men were far to busy in the fields with crops, shepherding ect to partake in baby making :0) .. most women therefore concieved around October time when the harvest was brought home. even up to the late 18th century in the rural farming areas of England, this trend was still going strong lol
There are other theorys that they have chewed over but im just way to tired to even think of them.... hence why they came to the conclusion that Jesus was more than likely an April born baby.
useless information i know, but something to chew over, if the dates of Jesus's birth intrests you like it does me :0)
