Yes. Jesus was born in March, but his birth is celebrated in December for “reasons”. Calendars have changed, much as history has been rewritten by political victors. nostr:nevent1qqszl0qsgzaaq0az...

Jesus was born six months after John the Baptist, according to the biblical record (Luke 1:36), and John was conceived a little after Zachariah's service in the temple, which is an annual event in the late summer or early autumn, if I recall correctly, which puts John's birth in the late spring or early summer the following year, and so Jesus in the early winter.
