Is Jesus really birthday?

No, December 25th isn't believed to be Jesus' actual birthday; the Bible doesn't state his birth date, and scholars estimate he was born between 6 and 4 BC, with some theories placing it in spring or autumn, not winter. The December 25th date for Christmas was chosen much later, around the 4th century, possibly to align with existing winter festivals, but it's a traditional commemoration, not the historical date.

When was Jesus' real birthday?

No one knows Jesus's exact birthday, but scholars estimate he was born between 6 and 4 BC, likely in the spring or fall, not December, as biblical clues (shepherds, King Herod) point away from winter. The December 25th date was chosen centuries later (around 336 AD) by Roman Emperor Constantine to coincide with existing winter solstice festivals. 

Was Jesus actually born on September 11th?

Yes, some theories, notably from The Living Truth Fellowship, propose Jesus was born on September 11, 3 B.C., based on astronomical alignments described in Revelation 12:1 (a woman clothed with the sun, moon at her feet) and aligning with the Hebrew New Year (Rosh Hashanah) and priestly calendars, though this isn't universally accepted by biblical scholars, who note the gospels don't specify a date and the interpretation of Revelation is debated. 

Was Jesus really born on December 24th?

While traditions mention the 24th as "Holy Night," this reflects cultural celebration rather than historical proof of the actual date, which remains unknown.
 

Why did they choose December 25 as Jesus' birthday?

We celebrate Jesus' birthday on December 25th because early Christians chose this date to coincide with Roman winter solstice festivals, like the Feast of Sol Invictus, offering a Christian alternative and linking Jesus, the "Light of the World," to the symbolic rebirth of the sun, with calculations suggesting conception on March 25th (the spring equinox) nine months prior. The Bible doesn't specify the date, so the Church established it in the 4th century to integrate pagan traditions and provide theological significance.

While the exact date of Jesus' birth isn't in the Bible, many scholars suggest an autumn birth, potentially in September or October, due to biblical clues like shepherds tending flocks in fields (unlikely in cold December) and calculations based on John the Baptist's conception and Jewish priestly duties (Feast of Tabernacles). Some theories even pinpoint dates in October 7 BC or June 2 BC based on astronomical events, but the widely celebrated December 25th was set later by the Church.
