According to Clement of Alexandria, who gave a then-synopsis of what Christians then believed was the actual days of the Lord’s birth 9and they were much closer to His birth than we are), Christians then placed Jesus’ birth on March 21, April 21, April 20 or 21.
By looking at and citing Clement (and the first-hand account that he had, and thus avoiding the historical revisionism which we see today), the consensus before and at Clement’s time was March or April, with the date of 21 (March or April) being the most recognized date.
A majority perhaps, but probably not a true consensus or it wouldn’t have been such a topic of discussion.
My point was, it was well before Power of English Kings.
Revelation 12 gives the Messiah’s birth date..
It occurred when the woman was clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet..
That woman in the heavens is a constellation. Part of the Mazzaroth.
This year, that sign was seen on Gregorian September 26th.
A new moon day..
Because of the earth wobbling for 2000 years, that sign has appeared to have ‘moved’ in the sky. they call it the precession of the equinox..
The Messiah was born in the summer, on a New Moon Day. And that New Moon Day was the first day of our Heavenly Father’s 6th month.
And when one follows the calendar in the sky, confirmed in scripture, every major life event the Messiah had occurred on holy appointed days that He gave Israel..
New Moons, Sabbaths and Feasts. His birth, circumcision, dedication, baptism, death burial, resurrection all occurred on those new moons, Sabbaths and feasts detailed in scripture.
Not surprising those holy days are ignored for man’s holy days..
