Tradition has made December 25th the birthday of Jesus.
However, the Bible clearly reveals he was not born on that day. It was not until the 4th century after Christ that December 25th began to be celebrated as the day of Christ’s birth.
Why? It was the old pagan holiday celebrating the winter solstice and the birth of the sun god and celebrated when the days began to get longer. In Rome it was the festival called Saturnalia and later the Roman Empire baptized it and began to celebrate it as the birth of Jesus. All biblical scholars know that Jesus was not born on December 25th
The signs of the Zodiac were originally not used in astrology but each signified a characteristic of Jesus Christ’s life, ministry, and kingship. The sign of the women in the Bible is the constellation Virgo and Revelation 12 states that she was “clothed with the sun,” another celestial body.
In 3 B.C., the sun and moon in Virgo occurred on September 11, the day Jesus was actually born. This coincided with Tishri 1 on the Jewish Calendar, the First day of the festival of the Feast of Trumpets. September 11, 3 B.C., was the close conjunction of Jupiter and Regulus before dawn. Jupiter and Venus were positioned within the constellation of Leo, the sign of Judah, from whose seed the Messiah, the promised seed, came. The New Moon occurred on September 11th, representing the Jewish New Year, and Jupiter made its “crowning effect” over the King star Regulus over an eight-month period.
