Nobody knows for sure just when Jesus was born.
So, most of the Christian world has chosen to celebrate His birth on December 25...
Look at it this way...
We have a 1 in 365 chance that we got it right!âº

No, the Catholic church chose to celebrate Jesus' birthday then to replace the pagan celebration of Saturnalia. The people might have rebelled against the church if they forbid them all celebrations - their lives were hard, they needed something to look forward to. So, literally the BDay of Christ, whose actual date of birth we will never know, was chosen for this mid-winter festival.
Sorry, I can't state my source. I read this a long time ago.

Nobody who has ever read the Bible in context. It doesn't give an exact day.
