I don't see how...If he was conceived in March (the annunciation) it would place his birth date in December. Tradition is that he died on the date he was conceived, not the date he was born.That would cause a conflict with Easter, it would seem, as his crucification was close to March as well, wasn't it?
Yes they did, and probably around the globe at that. People celebrate, but that doesn't mean they celebrate the same things.Except that ancient people DID celebrate the Winter Solstice, with celebrations such as Saturnalia, Yule, etc.

True. May, but May is quite a distance from the Spring Equinox.If he was conceived in August it would be close to Easter when he was born.

Close to Passover which is never in May.Yeah, but we still don't know when Easter occurred either though.

We know it happened during Passover week.Yeah, but do we even know if His death and resurrection happened in the spring at all?
We know it happened during Passover week.
Santa is based on a German Folklore that was about a Chimney Sweeper that stole from the rich and gave to the poor.You know, I really don't see what problem a lot of Christians have with Santa Claus. As long as they know what Christmas is truly about, isn't Jesus and Santa both about giving, loving, and caring onto others? Sure when kids get older they'll learn that Santa is really just a spirit not actually a person, but still I say let kids be kids as I don't see anything wrong with it personally.
Passover is during March and April, so yeah we know when it happens.Yeah, but I don't think we know in which season it actually was.
Jewish Passover is celebrated on the 15th day of Nisan, linked to the lunar calendar. It is the first full moon after the spring equinox which links Passover and Easter to the Spring season.Yeah, but I don't think we know in which season it actually was.

I am not sure when I first picked it up, but it started with being curious as a child about why Easter was never on the same date. I learned that Easter was always the Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring equinox. Later, I remember hearing or reading that Passover began on the first full moon after the Equinox. I learned more about the Jewish calendar as an adult from an atheist Jew who taught me a lot about Judaism.Interesting, but how did you know that?
Interesting, but how did you know that?
Chapter, and verse?We also have the Letter to the Corinthians instructing missionaries to eat what was put in front of them.
Yeah, but we still don't know when Easter occurred either though.
