Acually no. Noone knows for sure what day he was born. However we are given some clues about its aproxamate date. We are given these clues in the Bible.
Now the main clue we get is that he was born during Tax season. And as we all know that happens to be around the month of April. Now it would make sence that Tax season would be around spring after the fall & winter crops come in.
Then the people Taxing you would know how much to charge you. So I think that the closest we could perhaps get would be April 6th. Yes that's the day we have Easter. Or the first Sunday of that month. I can't remember which.
Hope this helps. :)

that is a music. The calendar that's in use as we talk signifying Dec. 25 replaced into not even in existence on the time of the beginning of Jesus... that is a date assigned and the historic previous of that is extremely nicely regularly occurring and replaced into chosen to assist the pagans make a celebratory transition extra basically. that doesn't negate the truth of Jesus' beginning in Bethlehem. And it replaced into the palm tree not the pine tree that replaced into the 'first Christmas tree' from that attitude.... operating in course of somewhat compassionate forgiving is helpful at the same time as in a celebratory mode.... Christmas nonetheless has Christ in it no count number how the 'seem' of it has replaced with the passing of time. Jesus the Christ replaced into born on His 'beginning' day which we call Christmas and characteristic assigned the day of twenty fifth of Dec.... thanks for the 'well timed' Q :)

No. Jesus Christ was born on April 6. He revealed this information because the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (His church) was organized on April 6 and He said that it was the anniversary of His birth. It is appropriate, of course, to worship Jesus and be grateful for his birth at any time of year.

Jesus was born in a stable in the early evening hours (just as the Jewish calendar advanced to 1 Tishri) of September 11, 3BC.
He was circumcised on September 19, 3BC, Lk.2:21
He was dedicated in the Temple on October 21, 3BC.

I seriously doubt that it is the actual day. However it is the day observed. Jesus was actually a couple months old when the wise men showed up. Some scholars even believe he was as old as 2 years. this belief comes from where King Herod ordered the killing of all young males under the age of 2

Nope. Christians chose that date as they wanted to convert as many Pagans as possible. Pagans celebrate the solstice and equinox, and, traditionally, the December solstice was a time where the Pagans celebrated the 'return of the light' (days getting longer again) and ate the last of their fall harvest. This was a major celebration on our planet before the Christains came along. Christians, probably smartly, chose a day near to this celebratory time in order to make conversions easier for them.

The bible does not mention the actual birthdate of Jesus. Pope Julius I set December 25 as the date we celebrate Christmas to try to do away with the pagan celebration of saturnalia.

That is the date that the emerging Christian chose to put it on . the acual date is still up for debate. You would have to know when the decree for a censes was issued and how long it took to reach the farthest reaches of the kingdom.and how close to their place of birth the people were to estamate how long it might have taken them to reach their place of birth.
The description in the Bible indicates either spring time or fall as the sherpards were still tending their flocks outside. this would not be the case in the winter as the floks would have ben taken from the pastures and placed in pens or the lower floor of the sherpards houses to protect them from the weather and hungry predators.It does not say anyone was out planting or harvesting crops.
other names for Jesus are the lamb of God and the Light of the world.which would place him in the spring time.

According to writing around the time of Jesus birth and the plants/flowers described, He was actually born in June or July. I don't know if there is any record (if there was would they let you know) of his birthday being changed to Dec. 25.

No, I think they've finally decided that Jesus was born some time in September. I think September 29? They studied things from the bible and came up with this date. Check this out: http://www.new-life.net/chrtms10.htm
