Don’t the Greek Orthodox followers celebrate Christmas sometime in Spring?

It’s not the day he was born. It’s the day we celebrate his birth.

Actually, the traditional date has a stronger claim than skeptics like to admit. This article is worth a read:

As I posted on a similar thread earlier, the irony of this article is that in order to refute the traditional December birthday, the scientists have acknowledged the existence of an actual historical Jesus Christ (i.e. JESUS WAS BORN . . . . .) Non-believers hoist once again upon their own petard.
