Was Jesus born on the 25th of December?

I don't agree. The date Dec 25 is not written in the bible & the apostles never taught about celebrating the Lord's bday.
"Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other." -1Cor.4:6

"The Enciclopedia Americana" informs us: "The reason for establishing December 25 as Christmas is somewhat obscure, but it is usually held that the day was chosen to correspond to pagan festivals that took place around the time of the winter solstice, when the days begin to lenghthen, to celebrate the 'rebirth of the sun'. The Romans Saturnalia (a festival dedicated to Saturnia, the god of agricolture and to the renewed power of the sun), also took place at this time, and the Christmas customs are thought to be routed in this ancient pagan celebration".

This is the truth and for so many years they had taken us for a ride...

Hi All,

I am new to RF and this is my first thread....
Many people believe that the date of Jesus' birth is the 25th of December.
What are your opinions, was he actually born on that date? Is Christmas a religious festivity? Looking forward to your thoughts. Maury

Hi, there's nowhere in the bible which mentions the date of Jesus birth,or even for us to remember it. here's what i googled...

No one knows what day Jesus Christ was born on. From the biblical description, most historians believe that his birth probably occurred in September, approximately six months after Passover. One thing they agree on is that it is very unlikely that Jesus was born in December, since the bible records shepherds tending their sheep in the fields on that night. This is quite unlikely to have happened during a cold Judean winter. So why do we celebrate Christ's birthday as Christmas, on December the 25th?

The answer lies in the pagan origins of Christmas. In ancient Babylon, the feast of the Son of Isis (Goddess of Nature) was celebrated on December 25. Raucous partying, gluttonous eating and drinking, and gift-giving were traditions of this feast.

In Rome, the winter solstice was celebrated many years before the birth of Christ. The Romans called their winter holiday Saturnalia, honoring Saturn, the God of Agriculture. In January, they observed the Kalends of January, which represented the triumph of life over death. This whole season was called Dies Natalis Invicti Solis, the Birthday of the Unconquered Sun. The festival season was marked by much merrymaking. It is in ancient Rome that the tradition of the Mummers was born. The Mummers were groups of costumed singers and dancers who traveled from house to house entertaining their neighbors. From this, the Christmas tradition of caroling was born.

Edgar Cayce, the most famous prophet of the 19th century stated Jesus was Born on March 19th.

I recommend looking him up.

I think most scholars have agreed it was around april. (Please correct me if im wrong)

I believe the bible itself indicates it was in Sept-Oct.

The most popular belief is sometime in early-mid September.
