6 plus 31 days in Dec. is 37. Minus 12 is 25 Dec.

But on a leap year it's 1 day later, every 4 yrs. Except years ending as 2000, when it's leap year. So Xmas, slowly precesses 1 day every 400 thru the constellations. So eventually Xmas and winter will not be when Orion is in the sky. Peculiar.

gotta sort the wheat from the chaff. some is just plain myth, some nonsense, like the Jeshua on the Mtn. with Satan, and others. Star stoppin was too. Magi, the same. Myth to fool the idiots. If yer could believe the earth stopped rotating for a singe star, then yer'd believe anything them silly priests told yer.

Nothing ever fits very well at all. Nope censuses were not recorded in historical Roman records, or are not now existing records.

Herodian myth was yet another bit of "improving the tale" to make ti conform to a peculiar, not well accepted bit of OT mythologies.

However, Pontius Pilatus condemned Jeshua. And there is NO source at all, including for the above "census" which is likely a bad translation, too.

However in the last 20 yrs .an engraved in marble stone was round No. of Israel. Pontius Pilatus on it. Provenance and time good. So He did exist. perhaps a gov of something. Bit proof that some of the tale was true, however.

Many try to interpret myths in terms of other myths, and that's just Double Trouble, in critical thinking.

Jeshua was 2 when they fled. That had to be a warm time, too. Thus gutting the shepherd tale, again. doesn't sayu when he came back, but as he studied in Yeshive to be a rabbi, had to before age 12. yet again, HUGE miss.

Ah, yes the next load of pagan myths. The 3 wise men. Not to be mistaken for stupid, foolish idiots, who went around lookin for stars in the sky that did not move at all!!!

And the old incenses. Gold, and Myrrh. Again pagan. And where did they get those names? Casper, not the friendly ghost, Balthazar and the other one, Melchior.

So we do a study of those names and it gets all the worse.

The info crimes committed in the name of Politics and religions.
