Well, the Christmas season is upon us again.
Here are a few fun facts:
Jesus is the greek equivalnet of the name Joshua.
Christ is synonymous with the term messiah. Messiah means annointed king.
December 25th was Sol Invictus, the Feast of the Unconquered Sun, the big Holy Day of Mithraism, worship of the Persian sun God, Mithras. Sol Invictus was the day to celebrate Mithras's birth.
Nobody knows exactly when Jeus was born, but it's unlikely to be later than 4 B. C.
If it did occur during taxation time, as suggested in the Bible, Jesus's birth was probably during the fall.
