Was Jesus Born in December?

THE Bible does not tell us when Jesus was born. However, it does give us sound reason to conclude that his birth did not take place in December.

Consider the weather conditions at that time of the year in Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. The Jewish month of Chislev (corresponding to November/December) was a month with cold and rainy weather. The month after that was Tebeth (December/January). It saw the lowest temperatures of the year, with occasional snows in the highlands. Let us see what the Bible tells us about the climate of that region.

The Bible writer Ezra shows that Chislev was indeed a month known for cold and rainy weather. After stating that a crowd had gathered in Jerusalem “in the ninth month [Chislev] on the twentieth day of the month,” Ezra reports that people were “shivering . . . on account of the showers of rain.” Concerning weather conditions at that time of the year, the congregated people themselves said: “It is the season of showers of rain, and it is not possible to stand outside.” (Ezra 10:9, 13; Jeremiah 36:22) No wonder shepherds living in that part of the world made sure that they and their flocks were no longer out of doors at night when December came around!

The Bible reports, however, that shepherds were in the fields tending their flocks on the night of Jesus’ birth. In fact, the Bible writer Luke shows that at that time, shepherds were “living out of doors and keeping watches in the night over their flocks” near Bethlehem. (Luke 2:8-12) Notice that the shepherds were actually living out of doors, not just strolling outside during the day. They had their flocks in the fields at night. Does that description of outdoor living fit the chilly and rainy weather conditions of Bethlehem in December? No, it does not. So the circumstances surrounding Jesus’ birth indicate that he was not born in December.

God’s Word tells us precisely when Jesus died, but it gives little direct indication as to when he was born. This brings to mind King Solomon’s words: “A name is better than good oil, and the day of death than the day of one’s being born.” (Ecclesiastes 7:1) It is not surprising, then, that the Bible provides many details about Jesus’ ministry and death but few details about the time of his birth.

Or better yet. "Because someone told me". Like a pastor, peacher, imam, sage, etc.

when reading the word do you feel you must know the answer or are there areas you are satisfied not to understand for now and perhaps until after you pass on??

My husband and I play secret Santa each year for someone we know and buy them a gift without ever telling them it was from us. This year we'd like to get something for my aunt and my uncle, who suffers from a degenerative muscular disease. He's not able to leave the house much and is pretty much bound to a wheelchair. My aunt is still quite active and has actually started her own business making jewelry.

They are both in their late 50s. Do you have any ideas for a gift I could either drop off or have delivered anonymously that would bring them some Christmas cheer and let them know someone cares? Nothing too pricey, but something thoughtful or useful.

Remember, we don't want them to know it's from us.

Thanks!

The early Roman history said Romulus was born of a virgin and Greeks had virgin births for pregnant daughters. Was this a factor in writing the gospels and calling for anger against christians?

Muslims say they are misunderstood and they have great respect for people of the book. in the Koran it says a Christian is the closest to you.

so why are Sunni and Shia who are both Muslims killing each other? how much more would they kill us. if even another Muslim deserves to die then how can we trust that they will not kill other religious people?

I live 25 miles east of San Francisco and we get more of a change of seasons here than in the immediate bay area, but not as severe as the east coast. I enjoy the variety of weather throughout the year. Sometimes I enjoy going to Chicago to visit relatives during the winter to get a good dose of snow. It is fun for a Californian.
