Arnieman Report post Posted December 26, 2005 Merry Christmas, everyone! (even though it's 6 hours past Christmas Day here, now...) Ah, America, where else can you hear people declaring Merry Christmas to their fellow man like they were a toddler who learned a new swear word? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ttlanhil Report post Posted December 28, 2005 (edited) Bleh, should of posted this a few days ago, but.. Happy Birthday Jesus! err... without wanting to get into religious debate, dec 25th likely isn't jesus' birthday, the day was chosen to match a pagan holiday(*), and even the church admits this link (I asked google, first page I got) so you might have posted the right day anyway! *: yule, in fact, of the winter solstice in northern hemisphere. the actual day of the solstice is about the 22nd, but without reliable calendars, they had to go by observation, and hence it was about the 25th they noticed the change... which is pretty remarkable Edited December 28, 2005 by ttlanhil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was watching a special on TV about Christ's birth, and one scholar thought that, due to the account of the Magi and the "star", it could have even been April 17, in 6 BC... but, unlike the Resurrection, we have no "date" for when the birth of Jesus would have been.

Daxon Report post Posted December 29, 2005 I understand that 12-25 may not be his actual birthdate, but they first believed he was born in January and even February. But they later settled on December the 25th. Which is why I posted happy birthday to him now rather than two months later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
