How We May Know the Real Birthday of Jesus Christ--March 20th
When I grew up, inom was informed that månad 25th was not the real birthday of Jesus—and it’s a historical fact that this date was simply adopted by the Church over a thousand years ago as a day to celebrate the nativity. This is partly because no one really knew the date—there just wasn’t enough information—and that seems reasonable knowing the accounts. But in the last few decades historians and astronomers have pieced together some amazing clues that give us a precise date that seems very likely. I was skeptical when I first heard this. But the evidence now seems very compelling.
Unlike finding the day of the year of Jesus birth, calculating the year of his birth may not be such an impossible task. It is pretty much agreed that based on the gospel of Matthew that the nativity must have happened a few years before the death of King Herod the Great. Furthermore, based on the details from Josephus and other

When Jesus Was Really Born
by Stephanie Hamman | December 03 2019
Christmas can make me grumpy. And not in a “Bah! Humbug!” way. Why? Because the most anticipated event in Jewish history – the coming of the Messiah – has been hijacked and distorted beyond recognition.
I’m Jewish and I follow Yeshua (Jesus), but I’ve had a long-standing conflict with Christmas. It may not sound like it, but I’m actually all about the warm, fuzzy feelings associated with the season – twinkling lights, mugs of hot chocolate, cozy snowscapes, and festive music. Last year, I even tried my hand at making wassail.
Like many Jewish Americans, I grew up with some Christmas traditions. But as I grew older, I felt less warm and fuzzy and more and more unsettled about this day.
People loved to tell me that “Jesus is the reason for the season” – but I knew it wasn’t that simple. Long before his birth, this time of year was filled with many similar traditions—except the
