Jesus was born around Sept/Oct



THE Bible does not tell us when Jesus was born. However, it does give us sound reason to conclude that his birth did not take place in December.

Consider the weather conditions at that time of the year in Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. The Jewish month of Chislev (corresponding to November/December) was a month with cold and rainy weather. The month after that was Tebeth (December/January). It saw the lowest temperatures of the year, with occasional snows in the highlands. Let us see what the Bible tells us about the climate of that region.

The Bible writer Ezra shows that Chislev was indeed a month known for cold and rainy weather. After stating that a crowd had gathered in Jerusalem “in the ninth month [Chislev] on the twentieth day of the month,” Ezra reports that people were “shivering .?.?. on account of the showers of rain.” Concerning weather conditions at that time of the year, the congregated people themselves said: “It is the season of showers of rain, and it is not possible to stand outside.” (Ezra 10:9,?13; Jeremiah 36:22) No wonder shepherds living in that part of the world made sure that they and their flocks were no longer out of doors at night when December came around!

The Bible reports, however, that shepherds were in the fields tending their flocks on the night of Jesus’ birth. In fact, the Bible writer Luke shows that at that time, shepherds were “living out of doors and keeping watches in the night over their flocks” near Bethlehem. (Luke 2:8-12) Notice that the shepherds were actually living out of doors, not just strolling outside during the day. They had their flocks in the fields at night. Does that description of outdoor living fit the chilly and rainy weather conditions of Bethlehem in December? No, it does not. So the circumstances surrounding Jesus’ birth indicate that he was not born in December.

God’s Word tells us precisely when Jesus died, but it gives little direct indication as to when he was born. This brings to mind King Solomon’s words: “A name is better than good oil, and the day of death than the day of one’s being born.” (Ecclesiastes 7:1) It is not surprising, then, that the Bible provides many details about Jesus’ ministry and death but few details about the time of his birth.



Wikipedia will give the answer to the constellation

Uh, no. You're confusing two completely different mythologies. The Zodiac signs go back to Hellenistic times.



Christianity did, however, borrow from the same mythological archetypes.Was the constellation virgo named after the birth of jesus christ during that period? was he really born ::?The constellation was there before Christianity was founded, so no. However they did take the constellations and make them into a story, the SAME repeating story that many other early religions came up with. Born on December 25 to Virgin mother, turns water to wine, died and was reborn 3 days later, etc.



Christianity is no different.Was the constellation virgo named after the birth of jesus christ during that period? was he really born ::?
There is no consensus on who Virgo was exactly or who the constellation was named after.

It has been associated with nearly every prominent goddess, including Ishtar, Isis, Cybele, and Athena, as well as with Mary the Mother of Jesus.

Virgo also was, along with Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, part of the source of the myth of Callisto, either as Callisto herself, or as Hera.

Persephone (who in some mythologies was considered to be a form of Demeter) is often mentioned as well, Virgo being visible mainly in the spring months when she was believed to have risen from the underworld.



But most people relate Virgo to Astraea, the virgin daughter of the Greek god Zeus and goddess Themis.Was the constellation virgo named after the birth of jesus christ during that period? was he really born ::?No - Virgo was named for Persephone in Greek mythology. She is more properly a "maiden of the harvest" than "a virgin".Was the constellation virgo named after the birth of jesus christ during that period? was he really born ::?
No, it wasn't, I leave you to do some reading on your own rather than taking my word for it.



Have fun.
