BTW: Jesus was not born in December, he was born sometime in the spring, but the Roman Empire under Constantine put the holiday near the pagan holiday of the Solcitice so it would be a holiday the pagans were used to. Jesus was not executed in the Spring, again the holidy was put near the Spring equinox so the Pagans would also celebrate during the same holiday. I find it interesting that someone who seems to place a lot of value on the life and death of Jesus would know so little about these events.

I thought most scholars placed Jesus' death in April, 30 AD, based on the timing of Pesach that year and references to the last supper as a seder.
