An astronomer who charted the Christmas star says that Jesus was born on June 17, not December 25. He found a spectacular astronomical event in June, which he says supports the Christmas star followed by the 3 Wise men.
Mr Reneke, formerly the chief lecturer at the Port Macquarie Observatory in New South Wales, added: "December is an arbitrary date we have accepted but it doesn't really mean that is when it happened.
"This is not an attempt to decry religion. It's really backing it up as it shows there really was a bright object appearing in the East at the right time.
"Often when we mix science with religion in this kind of forum, it can upset people. In this case, I think this could serve to reinforce people's faith." via telegraph.co.uk
