Was Christ Born On December 25th?

Adam Clarke Commentary, volume 5, page 370, New York edition:

“It was custom among Jews to send out their sheep to the deserts about the Passover [early spring], and bring them home at the commencement of the first rain.”

The first rains began in early-to-mid fall. Continuing with this same quote:

“During the time they were out, the shepherds watched them night and day. As … the first rain began early in the month of March-esvan, which answers to part of our October and November [begins sometime in October], we find that the sheep were kept out in the open country during the whole summer. And as these shepherds had not yet brought home their flocks, it is a presumptive argument that October had not yet commenced, and that, consequently, Christ was not born on the 25th of December, when no flocks were out in the fields; nor could He have been born later than September, as the flocks were still in the fields by night. On this very ground, the nativity in December should be given up. The feeding of the flocks by night in the fields is a chronological fact … See the quotations from the Talmudists in Lightfoot.”

Luke 2:8 explains that when this character was born, “there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.” Note that they were “abiding” in the field. This never happened in December. Abrahamic text, included in the bible, show that winter was the rainy season and shepherds could not stay on cold, open fields at night. Numerous encyclopedias plainly state that the son of Yahweh was not born on December 25th. The Catholic Encyclopedia directly confirms this. In all likelihood, he was born in the fall! Since we now know that December 25th was nowhere near Christ’s actual birthdate, where did the festival associated with this date come from?

SATURNALIA

Now read this quote under “Christmas”: “In the Roman world, the Saturnalia, December 17, was a time of merrymaking and exchanging of gifts. December 25, was also regarded as the birthdate of the Iranian mystery god Mithra, the Sun of Righteousness. On the Roman New Year, January 1, houses were decorated with greenery and lights, and gifts were given to children and the poor. To these observances were added the German and Celtic Yule rites when the Teutonic tribes penetrated into Gaul, Britain and central Europe. Food and good fellowship, the Yule log and Yule cakes, greenery and fir trees, gifts and greetings all commemorated different aspects of this festive season. Fires and lights, symbols of warmth and lasting life, have always been associated with the winter festival, both pagan and Christian” (Encyclopedia Britannica, 15th ed., vol. II, p. 903).

A final quote about the selection of December 25th as the birthdate of Christ is necessary. Note an article in The Toronto Star, December 1984, by Alan Edmonds, entitled, “We owe a lot to Druids, Dutch”:

“The Reformation cast a blight on Christmas. By then, of course, clever ecclesiastical politicians had adopted the Pagan mid-winter festival as the alleged birthdate of Jesus, of Nazareth, and thrown in a few other Pagan goodies to make their takeover more palatable.”

December 25th was not selected because it was the birth of Christ or because it was even near it. It was selected because it coincided with the idolatrous pagan festival Saturnalia.

CONCLUSION

In any event, we do not know the exact date of the character called Christ’s birth. While Yahweh certainly could have made it known, he chose to hide it from the world’s eyes! I say Celebrate this time as they did in Rome. I say Lilith wants us to celebrated with banquets, served by the flock. This will project and lead to desired behaviors including widespread drinking, orgies and debauchery! Remember well that the Abrahamic and the Christians used the word “saturnalia” to mean “orgy” but the midwinter festival, eating and drinking with friends was renamed Christmas when the Romans adopted Christianity.
