Why isn't New Years Eve the day of Jesus' birth?
)
September 18th, 2009
We us in the Common Era the Gregorian Calendar, also known as the Christian Calendar, or at least based on it. So, from my understanding our calendar year 2009 is supposed to represent years from the birth of Christ. If that is the case, why is the new year not celebrated on his birthday?
I know that most hold that Christ was not really born on that day, but that is the day we celebrate it. Why is New Years when it is?
