Matthew 2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
If this had been a supernova or a comet, as many have speculated, wouldn't people in Israel have seen it? But if it was something astrological (and not astronomical), it would have gone unnoticed by these people, but not by those around them.
According to modern astronomers, on April 17, 6 BC, the moon eclipsed Jupiter (seen as a morning star and representing royalty) in the astrological sign of Aries (believed by those of the time as representing Judea). This very well could have been the star which signaled the birth of the King of the Jews.
It's hard to say that was it for sure, but it fits the facts.

You are correct. Jesus' birthday was not on December 25. In fact, the Nativity of the Lord was not a feast day that was celebrated by early Christians.
It is no coincidence that the Nativity of the Lord is celebrated on Dec. 25. The Christian faith grew up in a culture of paganism. There were pagans that were celebrating the birth of the sun god. This happened near the winter solstice because after the solstice, the days get longer and longer.
Early Christian teachers used signs and symbols familiar to the pagans to teach about Christianity. Christians would come up to pagans around Dec 25 and ask, "So, what are you celebrating?"
The pagans would reply "We are celebrating the birth of the sun god."
The Christians would reply "Sun god? No, there is no sun god. You must mean the SON OF GOD."

Nope it became actual the birthday of the pagan solar god Tammuz. Constantine a Roman emperor "christenized" that day alongside with Easter etc. sometime after he had considered a creative and prescient of the flow and supposedly grew to develop right into a christian. the actual delivery of the Messiah is unkown. many human beings trust Christ's birthday became actual in the course of the time of the ceremonial dinner of tabernacles.

If we read the account of Jesus birth we can now precisely when Jesus was born.
The Sheperds were in the fields with their flocks. If it were winter the sheep would of been in a pen. So we are looking at spring.
Ceaser caused that everyman should be taxed so they went into their own city everyman to be taxed. Romans taxed people in April.
The orginazation of his true church (the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints) was organized on April 6, being one thousand eight hundred and thirty years since the coming of our saviour Jesus Christ in the flesh. April 6,0001 ad

You don't know either, do you? No one does. His birthday was set by a Roman Governer, because the people all had different dates they celebrated, so the Governer took a pagan god and said that was Jesus' day of birth.

Christians know the Jesus' birthday isn't really December 25th. Dec. 25th is just the date we choose to celebrate his birth. No one really know what the true date of his birth.

According to Luke 1:5 John the baptist was conceived in June, Jesus sixth months later.
Add nine months and you get sometime in late September.

Neither the Jews nor the early church kept the day of their birth as anything of consequence. I believe it's a wonderful thing to have a day that the whole world thinks about Christ in a positive way. Dec 25 is as good as any other day....Jim
