Growing up I read such things as “Jesus was probably born in August, actually” and “it was really in 4 BC”. Even mentioned in the lyrics of Rice & Lloyd-Webber’s “Superstar”: “If you’d came today you would have reached a whole nation; Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication”.
So apparently the calendar got screwed up and He may have been born in 4 BC.
Wishing you a happy 2018 in a couple weeks :)
Amazing, never knew.
I always say that just like the Queen of the United Kingdom having an “offical birthday” holiday, Christmas is the “offical birthday” of the Lord because we do not know the real birthday date.
