No, he was born on Dec 25th, duh. That's what all the christians say, and they never lie and are never wrong.
Keep saying stuff like that and you'll burn in hell.

nobody knows but the bible is very clear that the shepards were in the fields when they saw the star of bethlehem.
and that puts his birth either in the spring or the late fall of the year.
it is a simple statistic that most children are born in the late summer and fall season. so it is a good be that it was in the fall of the year. also the town was so busy that Mary and Joseph could not even get a room and sad to stay in a manger(possibly a converted cave) and this lends credibility to the fall trading season the busiest time fo the year right after harvest. so that puts the birth in late september or october for the first harvest.
and possibly november (just after the harvest moon) for the late harvest.
the bible is not clear on anything except that the town was so busy that the inkeeper did not even have floor space for mary and Joseph and that the shepards saw the star while in the fields.
but history and colture can narrow the time frame a to within a couple of months.

One can determine a possible September or October date from scripture, but we celebrate his birth in December.
No biggie.
The date of Christmas may well mark the actual date of his conception in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary, so all things work out pretty well in the end.

He wasn't born on Christmas. His birthday was moved to override the Pagan holiday called Yule which is on December 21.

This maybe correct, however remember that the calendar for those times also used a 360 day calendar and the months all had different names too.

Late February or early March, more likely.

the bible does seem to point to around this time
where they describe the sheep being brought in from the fields
so yes this seems more accurate than december
they used December as a way to encourage pagans to join Christianity ... December is a pagan holiday

makes a more realistic date than December. the Shepherds couldn't tend their flocks in December according to what I was told.

No, he was Born in March, all you have to do is read the Bible.

It's possible. We're not sure exactly when he was born, but someone chose a date and we celebrate His birth!! God bless you! ~Nise~
