It’s a wonderful endeavor to investigate the life of Jesus, for in it one discovers many hidden truths.
As I mentioned in my article on Dec. 25th, Christ was born on Dec. 25, 2. B.C., and circumcised on January 1, 1 B.C.. He celebrated His First Birthday on January 1, A. D..
But two dates which are important for our consideration most of all are the Day Christ was born and the Day He received the Holy Name of Jesus.
We can calculate these from the fact easily found on the internet, that January 1, 1 A.D. was a Saturday.
That means that January 1, 1 B.C., the year before, fell on a Friday. which in turn means that Dec. 25, 2 B.C., was a Thursday.
So the amazing truths to be gathered are this.
THE BREAD WHICH CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN WAS BORN ON A THURSDAY. ON A THURSDAY HE CAME FORTH FROM THE TABERNACLE OF THE ARK OF THE COVENANT, OUR LADY.
THE LAMB OF GOD FIRST SHED HIS BLOOD ON A FRIDAY. AND ON A FRIDAY WAS HE FIRST OFFERED TO THE ETERNAL FATHER AS HIS BORN SON.

Beautiful.
Inthe1800s and 1900s NotreDame University, AveMaria Press, published a magazine for Catholics called AveMaria.The articles can be downloaded free. The articles are so unlike Catholic articles today because the older articles told of supernatural events, and stories of the Saints.
One story in there was that to accompany the birth of Jesus into this world as its Saviour, the Father created 3 new flowers: the Carnation, the Chrysanthemum, and I can’t recall the 3rd one.Maybe the staff of Jos of Arimathea, and the Hawthorne which blooms at Glastonbury on Christmas.
Anyway, I noticed the fresh flowers in the shops each Christmas are Carnation, Chrysanthemum, and some little white flowers. Shhhhh! Don’t publish or next Christmas the NWO will not allow to be in stores. The people don’t know what they mean anyway anymore.
Our Lord was born under the Julian Calendar, the Gregorian is merely a correction for leap years.
