Welcome!
The purpose of this site is to set forth the case, based upon Scripture and sacred history, of Christ’s birth, Dec. 25, 2 B.C.
We believe the Dec. 25, 2 B.C., birth of our Lord is abundently demonstrated by competent Biblical evidence. However, the method of proof by which to substantiate that claim has largely been lost to history. The early church apparently knew it, and a few men here and there along the way have recovered it by various means, but by and large the evidence has been lost or obscured.
With you, we hold the celebration of Christmas dear and believe few dates in the calendar have brought men and nations the joy that has traditionally surrounded the Savior’s birth. We feel bound to help dispel the doubt that has sometimes surrounded the celebration of Christmas and the date of Christ’s birth. We are happy to be able to share the evidence with you here. God bless you as you seek the truth in his sacred word.
“Unto You Is Born This Day"
The Biblical Case for the December 25th Birth of Christ
 |
We often hear it said that
Jesus was not “really” born December 25th;
that this date is a mere fiction, surreptitiously
appropriated by church authorities in an attempt to
off-set and Christianize the pagan solstice; that, in
fact, Jesus was probably born in September, 6 or 7 B.C.
However, such charges
are relatively recent.
For most of church
history, December 25th
was received as the actual date of Christ’s birth,
handed down from earliest times.
Questions regarding
Christmas were first raised during the Reformation by
Puritans and Scottish Presbyterians, who attempted to
outlaw its celebration in Read >>> |
The Priestly Courses Testify to Jesus' Dec. 25th birth
Zechariah the father of John the Baptist was serving in the course of his priestly ministration when told his wife would conceive a son. John was six months older than our Lord. By identifying when Zechariah was serving and when John was conceived, we can determine when Jesus would have been born 15 months later.

Star of Bethlehem or Nazareth?
In this article we look at attempts to identify the star seen by the Magi in the east, and show that the star led them, not to Bethlehem, but to Nazareth forty-odd days after Christ’s birth.
Johannes Kepler
Attempts to identify the “star of Bethlehem” have come and gone down through the ages. Various phenomena and astrological occurrences have been proposed and served to corroborate the date of Christ’s birth. Among the earliest and longest standing attempts was that made by Johannes Kepler (1571-1630). Read »

Epiphany...was
of old promiscuously used either for the feast of Christ’s
Nativity, or for that we now properly call by that name:
afterwards the titles became distinct; that of Christ’s Birth
(or as we call it Christmas -day) was called the
Nativity, and
Theophania, the appearances of
God in the flesh, two names importing the same thing as
Nazianzen notes.
For the antiquity of it, the first footsteps I
find of it are in the Second Century, though I doubt
not that it might be celebrated before, mentioned by
Theophilus
Bishop of
Caesarea,
about the time of the Emperor Commodus: but if any credit might
be given to the Decretal Epistles, it was somewhat elder than
that, Pope Telesphorus,
who lived under Antonius
Pius, ordaining divine Service to be celebrated, and an
angelical Hymn to be sung the night before the Nativity of our
Saviour.

The Nativity Poem
Kurt Simmons
Simple chronology places the nativity of Christ in the closing weeks of the Julian year
Did Mary travail, was our Lord born,
While yet it was night, before it was morn?
Whilst shepherds flocks watched, but other men
slept,
This day that men long centuries have kept?
Do we well the Lord’s birth to remember,
Year by year the twenty-fifth of December?
Fear not, good Christian men, be not afraid,
It was surely this night when it was said,
“Unto the sons of earth is born this day,
He whom prophets foretold and saints did pray.
And, lo, this a sign unto you shall be,
The babe in a manger in David’s city.”

10 slices white bread ¼ cup butter 1 cup scalded milk 3 tablespoons brandy ½ cup sugar 1 teaspoon nutmeg 4 eggs, separated ¼ teaspoon cinnamon 1 1/3 cups raisins lightly floured ¼ teaspoon cloves ½ cut finely chopped dried figs ¼ teaspoon mace 3 tablespoons finely chopped candied citrus rind 1 teaspoon salt |
Butter and flour a 2-quart steam pudding mold. Heat water in a pot large enough to hold the mold. Crump the bread, and soak it in the hot milk. Cool and add the sugar, the well-beaten egg yolks, raisins, figs, and citrus rinds, and butter. Add to the crumb mixture, then stir in the brandy, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, mace, and salt. Beat until well blended. Beat the egg white until they are stiff but not dry. Stir a third of the whites into the pudding mixture, then gently fold in the remaining whites. Spoon the mixture into the mold and cover. Put in the large pot and steam for six hours. Remove and let cool for 10 minuets before unmolding. Serve warm with Hard Sauce.
Hard Sauce: There are different flavored sauces. Our favorite is lemon/brandy. 5 tablespoons butter - 1 cup confectioners sugar - 1 tablespoon lemon - 1 tablespoon brandy - Cream the butter, then slowly add the sugar, beating well with an electric beater or by hand until creamy and pale yellow. Add the lemon and brandy. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Homemade Candied Rind: We recommend homemade rinds, rather than the ghastly store-bought kind used in fruitcakes. Once you uses these, you will never go back. Blanch 1 part orange to 2 parts lemon rinds in boiling water. Remove. Let cool, and finely dice. Add 2 cups of sugar to 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Add rinds. Remove from heat; let sit overnight. Repeat once or twice more until rinds obtain desired degree of candying. Store in sugar surup in refridgerator.
