Jesus Birth Quotes

I'm a Christian, and I believe the Immaculate Conception was how Jesus was born.

According to the Gospel of Luke, shepherds were watching their flocks at night at the time Jesus was born. This detail -- the only clue in the Gospels about the timing of the birth [of Jesus Christ] -- suggests that Jesus' birthday was not in the winter, as shepherds would not have been watching their flocks only during the lambing season in the spring. In the colder months the sheep probably would have been corralled.

Pope Julius set the date for Christmas in the 4th Century...
