I believe you’re exactly correct. During the Feast of Tabernacles.

The man Jesus was not born on December 25th. That’s the date of the Solstice pagan stuff. He was most likely born around April. The Bible mentions no exact date of His birth. The Romans created December 25th.

[Just mythoughts]

Luke the physician laid out the approximate date of the Conception of Christ.. on or about our December 25th. Why would not the pagans attempt to co-op God? That is the devil's MO to co-op God and His creation.

There are more than a few here.

RegulatorCountry: More than one in five reporters don’t have a clue as to the appropriate use of apostraphes.

You mean, because of the headline, which contains TWO such errors?

Ok, lets say it is 12/25. I can’t recall anywhere in the scriptures that asks us to celebrate his birthday. On the other hand the Lord only asks that we keep the Lords table.

Be that as it’s being reported. The Anglicans restored the observance of Epiphany (Jan 6th 12th day) back on their calendars.

Though these idiots claim Old Testament Judaism as their own.

9 months earlier would be Dec/Jan so I just figure we’re celebrating the immaculate conception.

Classical, biblical, and similar names ending in a sibilant, especially if they are polysyllabic, do not take an added s in the possessive; among sources giving exceptions of this kind are The Times and The Elements of Style, which make general stipulations, and Vanderbilt University, which mentions only Moses and Jesus. As a particular case, Jesus' [my emphasis] is very commonly written instead of Jesus's – even by people who would otherwise add 's in, for example, James's or Chris's. Jesus' is referred to as "an accepted liturgical archaism" in Hart’s Rules.

- Wikipedia

Please don't groan because I cite Wikipedia - it's electronic, and easier to access for this post. But it says essentially the same thing as my Bible (I'm a Technical Editor), The Chicago Manual of Style.

26% surveyed said “Jesus is a Peruvian international and reserve midfielder for West Ham United.”

Thanks for the clarification.

I was raised to believe the celebration of Christmas was pagan...course Luke’s time line was totally ignored. Once I read Luke’s description of the Conception and how it was with John the Baptist 6 months in the womb and he recognized the Spirit of Christ.... the pagans celebrations lost their relevance. Luke penned these details for cause and purpose and I consider it my Christian calling to share what got recorded and preserved.
