KING'S MANGER

The time and day of Jesus's birth,
Is unknown by folks' here on earth.

When temps are cold and snow is deep,
Sheperds aren't in fields watching sheep.

They say Jesus's birth is in warmer weather,
Thinking mid-May or even September.

Yet here He is, wrapped in human flesh,
Heaven's baby boy, Holiest 'n Best.

His innocense they see in a feeding trough,
A baby boy that's precious, sweet 'n soft.

Does Mary know He's the Sacrificial Lamb,
For her baby is God, The Great "I AM."

Happy Birthday, Lord Jesus - God the Son,
Admiration 'n respect are yours, The Holy One.

No other birth deserves more inspiration 'n awe,
Than the miracle baby shepherds' said they saw.

Your Love is soothing, your Grace Devine,
Thank you for saving creation sublime.

Thank you, Jabber! Everything you write is true, and I love how you've so neatly told a big story -- and in rhyme!

Of course, I don't know if it ever snows in Jerusalem, and I am aware that Biblical scholars doubt Jesus was literally born on December 25th.

Isn't it true that some who study this stuff suggest that the date of December 25th was chosen to coincide with pagan celebrations that already existed?

(Essentially a plan to convert pagans to Christianity by making it easy to transfer their year-end celebration plans to Christian worship.)

I don't think it matters exactly when Christ was born, as long as we continue to have a time to celebrate His birth.

Yes. Everything you write is true, too. It matters not to me when He was born. I can't tell you how happy I am for His birth. I was just wanting to put a little twist on the occasion; something different, you know. And yes. They chose Dec. 25th to coincide with existing celebrations. The thing is I and I'm sure you are so busy getting ready for company, and shopping, and trying to decide on a menu, I didn't have time to go into all that stuff. God bless.

When I researched Bethlehem in Winter they showed pictures with snow. So I'm thinking it must snow, there. Can't testify to that because I've never had the pleasure of seeing that part of the world. But would love to, for sure!

Jabber, you got me wondering -- after all, it sometimes snows in Arizona or Florida -- though very rarely. So I did a Google search and came up with the video of snow in Bethlehem in 2008.
