Puleease!

The december festival was the Saturnus Festival.

SATURN's Day.

The december date is significant in a number of cultures because of it's
relation to the longest night of winter, and the promise of new light
born into the world.

Why would non christian/ non-Jewish cultures be worshipping Lucifer?

Jesus' birthday is unknown, Fraser doesn't have any special info on it.

Astronomer's place the occurance of a super nova in June/July of a year
that might have been around when he was born, but again-- speculation.

(I got the above info from a planetarium show I attended years ago--- So
I don't know how accurate it is.)
