I don't necessarily mean that exactly. But I think the basic time-frame is right. Late December or early January. On the Hebrew Calendar in either Kislev or Tevet.
I have a bit of a hunch it may have been the 25th day of the Month on the Hebrew Calendar, and then that got translated to December 25th by Gentile Christians. In other words I think it highly possible Jesus was born on the First day of Hanukkah and Circumcised on the Eight Day of Hanukkah.
My past estimate that a Passover/First Fruits conception would place his Birth near the end of Tevet was based on a misunderstanding of how the Gestation cycle is counted.
Following Zola Levitt's observations about the Gestation cycle and the Leviticus 23 Feast days. If the first month of Mary's cycle directly lined up with the month of Nisan. Then 270 days takes us to about when Hanukkah happens.
Ya know often on the first day of Hanukkah the Moon is under the Feet of Virgo.
I still haven't made up my mind what year yet. That's something I'll be getting into more in the future.
