Christmas Quiz 05 – When was Jesus born?

Scroll down for the answer!

Answer: The precise date of Jesus’s birth is uncertain. A variety of options have been suggested throughout church history, including March 21, April 15, and May 20. One theory suggesting that the Star of Bethlehem may have been Venus and Jupiter coming together to form a bright light in the sky, a rare event that occurred in June of 2 B.C. Another possibility is a similar conjunction between Saturn and Jupiter, which occurred in October of 7 B.C. The bottom line is we don’t know, but it probably was not 25th December.

Still it’s a nice tradition and there are plenty more nice traditions to be had at Bedhampton this Christmas.
