Not Only Not in December, Not in the Summer Either

The Holy Bible gives plenty of clues, long since lost to the religiosity of the Romanized church, as to when the actual birth of Yeshua occurred. The actual time has been obscured for a reason, so as not to make too much of it by itself. It is the entire time of mortality in His human form that give the basis of His identification with mankind, to the end of His sacrifice on the cross for a sinful mandkind that is of extreme importance.

As to the clue, it is Jewish in its concept, and execution, something not so quickly acknowledged by many in the mainstream Christian community, let alone in the mindset of Muslim ideology. The key is when the shepherds were visited by the angelic host, praising the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
