If we date our calendar from the birth of Christ, should that be January 1st?

I thought the birth was in the spring.

If we date our calendar from the birth of Christ, should that be January 1st? No. The New Covenant began with Jesus' circumcision--one week after His birth.

We don’t date our calendar from the birth of Christ. We date it from the perihelion, when the Earth is closest to the sun.

It would probably make more sense to date the start of the year from either the winter solstice or the spring equinox.
