Excellent point, so it's time to remind:
Christ was born as if a Jew.
His birthday is January First;
the day the Child was circumcised.
The seventh day after the birth, the male child would be cut,
and then, and only then, was it considered to have been a living human at all;
if it died before the seventh day, it was of mere flesh-ejection,
not human.
Christ's official birthday during his lifetime, and for centuries to come,
was always pegged as January 1st. And if that was all right by Jesus,
and it evidently was, who are we to allow catlickers to change the DOB
to suit their tutti frutti li
ckings?
