Catholic celebrate the Feast of the Annunciation on March 25, nine months before Christmas: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01542a.htm
December 8 is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception when Mary was conceived without the taint of Original Sin in her mother's womb: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07674d.htm
With love in Christ.

Mary was obviously not a virgin. If the bible story is anywhere close to the truth then she would have carried a baby for a full term of approx 9 months.
The truth of the matter is that she conceived a baby in the normal way (sexual relations with a roman soldier) and it is quite possible she was a common concubine. The whole "virgin" birth thing insults everyones intelligence and is just a cover up... well more of an outright lie really!
Apparently this jesus everyone goes on about was born in July and they moved the celibration to co-incide with a pagan celebration. Christianity is mainly based on a lot of hearsay and superstition. It will NEVER stand the test of time

i've got been by using a bible learn relating to the virgin Mary. besides the very undeniable fact that it would not ever state extremely that she substitute into pregnant for 37-40 two weeks, scholars have desperate that the time line shows a typical gestation. different than concept, it substitute right into a thoroughly frequent being pregnant and delivery. no person is properly-known with for a fact however. it particularly is the place faith comes into play.

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception is referencing the conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary - NOT Jesus.

Who said conception was 12/8?
He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and made flesh in the womb of Mary. No one said that he was a preemie so assumption is that he was full term.

The Immaculate Conception isn't when Mary conceived Jesus, it's when Anne became pregnant with Mary, who was free from the stain of original sin. At least, that's what my seventh grade theology teacher taught us....

lol, that's great. But, unfortunately, she was only pregnant until April 11th, so that means she had sex earlier than December.
