XS>story of the birth of Yah'shua on Sukkoth A careful reading of Luke 1 will explain that Yah'shua was not born on a Pagan feast.
But we still know that Christ being born on Booths is just as much myth as December 25. It's pure human tradition.

The question is whether you believe and trust Sukkot as the date is supported by Elizabeth's pregnancy of John the Immerser. Zacharias served as a high priest and based on his tribe, we know when he served John would have been born on Pesach. Most Jews believed that Elijah Factor in when Miriam visited her cousin Elizabeth, John (1:14) tells us that Yah'shua was made flesh and tabernacled among us. Eight days after the beginning of Sukkot is another Holy Feast Day called Shemini Atzeret. Eight days after a Jewish male is born he is circumcised. After the Eighth day comes the the most Joyous day: Nine months back from Sukkot is Chanukah where the light entered the temple.

Do not confuse your cleaverly devised scenario with the Word fo God. Given all the explicit dates we find in the Bible, if God wanted us to know the date of Christ's birth He would not need you to invent this elaborate paper chain.
