    Also, Jesus probably wasn’t born in 1AD. as a matter of fact is 1AD the year after Christmas where Jesus was born (so he was born in 1BC) or was Jesus not born for the vast majority of 1AD until a week before the end of year?

    Crazy what assimilating pagan holidays will do to a religion

      Jesus was born in the spring, not the winter. Christmas is an adaptation of northern winter festivities and they slapped a Christian justification on it.
