I think you misunderstand - my words were in reference to the fact that not only do we not know what time of year the Jesus of the New Testament was born, save that it was all but certainly not Dec 25 ( probably springtime by the way - shepherds generally only 'watch their flocks by night' in lambing season), but also that we don't know what year, save that again it was almost certainly not the calendar year from which our present calendar is derived..........( note that Herod died 4 BC)
