Quick question, some one told me Jesus was actually born in March, is that true?

It is very true.  Even all the Christians I know (myself included) and all the churches I've attended acknowledge that the time of the year was likely early Spring.  I forget the explanation of why we still celebrate it on the 25th December, but it is no secret among Christians that the date is technically wrong. 

I can explain, but it's very long and boring.

They basically chose this date to coincide with a pagan celebration.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Yeah, the only thing I could remember was that it did have Pagan influence.

OKay cool, thanks for clearing that up

That information was also available in the link that I put in the opening post.

However, thank you nightsurge for the other link.
