I guess next you're going to tell me that Jesus didn't die on a cross on some random Sunday between March and April.

Seeing that Passover was a well established Jewish holiday and the Last Supper they celebrated was a Passover meal, that one is pretty accurate.

Reasonably accurate except according to the primary tradition, he died on a Friday and rose on a Sunday. There is also a reasonable believe among some that the Passover meal was not on a Thursday but earlier in the week as it is referred to in scripture as a High Sabbath which can occur any day of the week(they still have the weekly sabbath as well in those situations).

The events surrounding the birth of Jesus do tend to indicate the that time of year was not December due in large measure to the fact that shepherds were in the fields tending their flock, not a likely occurrence in December in the area.

It is interesting to ponder but doesn't preclude us enjoying the current celebrations at the time they occur.

Merry Christmas baws!
