NOT December 25th!
There is near unanimous agreement among Bible scholars that Jesus was NOT born on December 25th. This comes from a simple consideration of one of the facts surrounding the birth of Christ. Luke 2 tells us that at the time of His birth there were "shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night" (vs 8). Angels appeared to these shepherds announcing the birth of the Saviour. Experts agree that, while shepherds often remained in the fields with their flocks during the warm months of the year, they definitely would not have been out there during a cold winter month like December.
