1. Catholic hold that Jesus celebrated Passover with his disciples on Holy Thursday. In Catholic theology, that is the day that Christ was spiritually offered as the paschal victim, and spiritual things are more real to Catholics than earthly things. (I’d always heard of two passover dates, but until now I’d never known where the two dates came from.) So he was offered in Heavenly ways on the Heavenly passover, and offered in Earthly ways on Earthly passover.
2. December 25 comes from two sources:
A. If he was born on December 25, that means that he was conceived on March 25, which happened to be Passover. While the Catholic Church moves the date of Easter and Good Friday, it preserves the date of the first Passover as the Feast of the Annunciation.
B. December 25 is a translation into the Gregorian Calendar of the Hebrew Day of Nisan 25 (which typically is actually several days earlier). Nisan 25 was the day in which Spirit of God came to swell in the Holy Temple of Jerusalem, the Feast of the Dedication. When the Holy Temple was destroyed by the Romans, the Jews downplayed the Feast of the Dedication, and Martin Luther followed them in removing the Book of Maccabees from the Divine Word... which is odd since Jesus plainly observed the Feast of the Dedication, going to Jerusalem not once, not twice, but three times. In fact, that’s why we figure he preached for three years: the gospels recount him celebrating the Feast of the Dedication three times. And he did so to proclaim that He was the Holy Temple, the embodiment of God on Earth.
So yeah, Catholics find a great beauty in the life events of Christ following the Hebrew festivals.
The Savior’s birth sign is given in Revelation. Revelation 12 details a literal astronomical event.
The woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet occurred on September 26 in 2014.
That details the end of what scripture calls a New moon day. (Aka the first day of the month)
2000 years ago, because of the earth’s wobble and what science calls the precession of the equinox, that sign occurred in ‘summer’ .
And specifically the first day of His 6th month.
And the Father’s Calendar tells a story that proves the Word became Flesh with that simple sign in His sky.
That He was born on an appointed day, circumcised on a weekly Sabbath, dedicated in the temple 40 days after His birth(10th day of His 7th month-day of atonement)
Baptized on His 30th birthday, a new moon day.
Laid His life down as the Lamb on Passover, the 14th.
Laid in the tomb resting on the Sabbath (15th)unleavened bread
And raised as first fruits on the day after the Sabbath(16th- first day of 3rd week)
Days He taught Israel for a history lesson was also a prophetic shadow of their King and the Kingdom!
He is every New Moon Day, Sabbath and Feast. Each of His major life events occur red on one.
Word (Torah)Made Flesh literally!
