For an interesting theory on the actual date see http://www.bethlehemstar.net/

They give a June of 2 BC date for the birth with a December 25, 2 BC date for visitation by the Magi. I don't know if they are correct, but the actual date is not important to me. Christmas is when the "Christ Mass" is held to celebrate His birth.

Thanks for the link...

I agree that the date of conception or the actual birth date was never established to be a day of required worship.

What I have discovered in my short tenure in this flesh body is that all manner of human beings have taken onto themselves to declare what is Written or what is meant by what is Written.

My comments all have been about to the literal Words penned and literally what information is given. I will leave up to the Maker as to who believes what and when and He and He alone will be the judge.

Merry Christmas!!!
