I read someplace that Jesus was actually born in July. I think some historian came up with this because of the timing of the Roman census. Does anyone have any information about this?
I have read that Luke mentions that the Roman census was also taking place and that Romans did not take census during the winter months.
The Bible doesn't give a date (or even year, but that's a different subject) for Christ's birth. The modern dates of Jesus birth fit in well dates with the dates of Sun worship (winter solstice -- Rome declared December 25th as The Birthday of the Invincible Sun).
The Bible does give some climate data and the phrase shephards "watching their flocks in the fields at night" indicating anytime between April to October for Jesus's birth. No where near December.
