Many, many years ago, I recall hearing a similar news story, placing the birth of Jesus in the month of September. It was based, IIRC, on shepherds and flocks rather than on the star.

Thanks for your work.

What I like about a September birth day is to back track 9 months and speculate on the day of Mary's conception.

We know that 12/25 coincided with pagan winter feast dates. Might the early church have accidently stumbled upon the actual birth date of Jesus in the womb. What a victory for Pro Life arguments.
