Do you want to know how I know Dick Cheney is Satan?  Cheney is the only man I've ever known who shot a lawyer in the face and the lawyer apologized.  "Oops, sorry.  My fault.  Shouldn't have been standing behind you out of your line of fire."

Assuming John the Baptist would be conceived shortly after his father's return (and the Bible makes a bit of a big deal about this) and assuming that it was a nine month pregnancy, John would have been born in late March or early April the following year. The difference in ages between John and Jesus is cited as six months (Luke 1:24-36, Mary became pregnant when Elizabeth, John's mother, was in her sixth month). Therefore, the date of birth should have been around late September or possibly early October.

The church might have been better off picking Halloween as the pagan holiday to replace, eh.

Thanks.
I knew a bit of it.
I suppose they chose Dec, as they needed something to line up with the winter solstice.

That is a common understanding. I also heard something one time about they know when he died, and according to some Jewish superstition you die around the same time of the year you are conceived, and so the early church put it in December. Whether this was an actual thing or not, it is something I remember from a religion class years ago.

True that. The Holy Grail that Donovan picked up in the Last Crusade had a 20th century hexagonal bolt on the bottom which was visible when he drank from it.




Stop it at 0.06.

He chose... poorly.
