Jesus the fisherman was a picean. so how come his birthday is on 25 december?

Answer 1

Through the account of the birth of Jesus as told in the New Testament as well as scientific and astronomical research of the sky, stars and moon, it has been all but authenticated that the birth occured sometime early evening September 11, in the year 3 B.C.

Also, the fish symbol has nothing to do with an astrological sign. I have included some sites to better educate yourself.

And, Jesus was a carpenter by trade, which is another misconception by Western standards, because most construction in the Nazareth region was stone and clay, which means he was more of a stone cutter than a woodworker.

Answer 2

Jesus was known as the carpenter's son (Matt.13:55; Mark 6:3).

I don't celebrate the Pagan Days or Birthdays. I do have tons of information on the Pagan Days and Jesus's death which I'm going to site-

Scripture doesn't mention Jesus's birthdate or any christians celebrating His Birthday. The only birthday mentioned besides Pharoah is the heathen king Herod. "Christmas" means "mass of Christ"; the celebration coexisted in Rome before there was any in Jerusalem. The early Roman Church however did establish a pagan festival that (Jer.10) coexisted with Jesus's Birth and that was the birthday of the sun god. (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th ed., article: "Christmas"). The Catholic sources admit that Christmas didn't co-exist with the earliest festivals. Jesus wasn't born Christmas; even scripture makes this evident. "On the night of Jesus's birth, the shepherd's were still keeping watch over their flocks." (Luke 2:8). The rainy season in Ancient Israel began after the Feast of Tabernacles which generally is early October. In November, it would be cool and wet; the flocks from the pasture had already been brought and kept in winter quarters by the shepherds. This tells us the shepherds were no longer in the fields at night. Another peice of evidence is overlooked is in Luke 1:35-36; it tells us John the Baptist was born to Mary's cousin Elizabeth six months before Jesus. And as we look further in verse 5-17, we see Zacharias an elderly priest burning incense on the altar and then an angel appearing to him and telling him that he and his wife would have a son to prepare Christ's Way. We know however when this announcement was made by the angel because of Zacharias was "of the course of Abijah" Please look at 1Chron.24:1-19; it tells us that King David divided these priests into 24 "courses" that served in the temple by rotation. The Course of Abijah would be the 8th of the 24 courses which usually would occur around the end of May. Pentecost came the week after the 8th course served and he had to serve all 24 courses during the three festival seasons. So Zacharias came home approximately after the first week of June; in which John the Baptist was conceived around mid-June and 9 months later would be his birth. John Baptist's birth came around mid-March while Jesus's was around mid-September. Also notice every year people claim 3 wise men seen Jesus in a stable; is this really true? The Bible nowhere states "3 wise men" or "that the wise men visited Jesus in a stable". Read for yourself: (Matt.2:11); these Magi came from the east beyond the Euphrates River which in the 1st century was called the Parthian Empire (the eastern border of the Roman Empire).

I can't finish this: so you would have to see it on:

Answer 3

Jesus' birthday is celebrated on the 25 of December because the holiday coincided with a Pagan holiday in Ancient Rome. Since the Romans were persecuting the Christians, they chose a time to celebrate Jesus' birthday that would not draw too much attention to themselves. As to when his actual birthday is, I'm not sure anyone knows.

Answer 4

al micro girl is telling the truth, except it was the roman catholics who decided to make these into 'christian holidays'. What's a picean? If Jesus was born when the shepards were watching their flocks, it would have been in the spring or fall, probably the fall.

Answer 5

His birthday is celebrated on December 25, that was established by the Catholic Church. I think he was actually probably born in September. Do some research.

Answer 6

Because the early Christian church saw all of the pagan still celebrating the winter solstice and wanted them to join Christianity. Like the Greeks and Romans, Christians knew the way to get followers was to adapt their religion around religions that already exist.

Another Christian holiday based on a pagan holiday: Easter

Answer 7

Another good question is if the shepards were watching their flocks when Jesus was born, why would they be out in their fields in December. Isn't it cold in December in Jerusalem?

Answer 8

Funny that no-one objected to your assertion that Jesus was a picean.

More importantly though, Jesus IS pisces. That's what all the fish symbolism is really about.

Answer 9

Who really knoes the exact date on the current calendar? It is as good of a day as any. It does not have an effect on the message of salvation.

Answer 10

Jesus was a Carpenter by trade.
