Hi Alexa and thank you too for your kindness as well as your stimulating OP, it's great to hear from and converse with fellow truth seekers bless you all, to me my Saviour Jesus Christ is the Way into all truth worth having, and the Light and Life of a (currently) dying world, may we all continue to share what we have in the spirit of brotherly and sisterly kindness, g'night all.

It is fascinating that modern revelation in the book of Doctrine and Covenants gives the date of our Saviour's birth into mortality as being the 6th of April (this is common knowledge to all members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, of which I am blessed and privileged to be a member). Some further confirmation of this date is the ancient and modern practice in the Holy Land of flocks not being released outdoors (if I recall correctly) until at least mid-March...indicating that His birth witnessed "as shepherds watched their flocks by night" was indeed far later than the traditional Christmas season in which His birth into the world is now celebrated in modern times. Regardless of the date, may we all be blessed with the memory and joy of the Christmas spirit throughout the year and keep encouraging one another in our individual and collective efforts to "Love one another". Best wishes to all, Andy
