According to the Jewish calendar, Jesus was born in the
month of Tishri the 15th 3758. His birthday was on the first day of the Feast
of the Tabernacles which is also the Jewish New Year. In the Bible the holiday is
celebrated with seven days of feasting. On the eighth day Jesus was circumcised
according to custom, and Mary and Joseph offered two turtledoves as a sacrifice
for their firstborn son. These dates
correspond to mid-September in our calendar
and the autumn harvest. Now I’m not entirely clear why everyone
celebrates his birthday on 25th December but never mind, Happy
Belated Birthday Jesus!
