Have you nrver researched the history behind Christmas and Dec 25th?   Surely it has nothing to do with the actual date of Christ's birth!



Shepherds in the field?  Not around December...that's for sure.   Truth is, no one knows for sure when Christ was actually born... it wasn't important in the grand scheme of things... remember, Christ said... do this in rememberance of me... you know the last supper... He didn't say... remember my birth day!
