“Not Christmas”

      When is Jesus’ birthday?

Sincerely,
HB2U

Dear HB2U,

No one knows when Jesus was born, but it was most likely in the spring or summer because the shepherds were out – Lk 2:15.  Historians have traced the date of His death to around 33 AD and His birth to somewhere in the vicinity of 4 BC… give or take a couple of years.  We are just never given the specific date of His birth in the Bible, and we can’t pinpoint it using secular history either.
