The date of the birth of Jesus is not stated in the gospels or in any historical sources and the evidence is too incomplete to allow for consistent dating. However, most biblical scholars and ancient historians believe that his birth date is around 6 to 4 BC.
Yes, some believe that Jesus was born on September 11, 3 B.C. This belief is based on the idea that Jesus was born between 6:18 and 7:39 PM on the Hebrew day that corresponds to the sunset on September 11, 3 B.C.
The exact date of the birth of Jesus has not been established. Christmas is a day celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, who many Christians believe is the son of God. While many celebrate Christmas on December 25, some Orthodox Christians mark it on January 7.
While this is sometimes debated, the majority of New Testament scholars place Jesus' birth in 4 B.C. or before. This is because most date the death of King Herod the Great to 4 B.C. Since Herod played a major role in the narrative of Jesus' birth (see Matthew 2), Jesus would have had to be born before Herod died.

What is Jesus' true birthday?
When was Jesus's real birthday? Was Jesus actually born in June? The exact birthday of Jesus is not known and doesn't appear in the Christian Bible, but it is estimated that Jesus was born between 6 and 4 B.C., due to the Biblical story of King Herod the Great's reign, which coincides with the birth of Christ.
Yes, if you mean the day on which Christians have celebrated the Lord's birth almost universally from the earliest times. However, the Church has never definitively taught that Jesus was born on December 25; there is no conclusive documentary evidence and Sacred Scripture mentions no date whatsoever.
"Based on this theological assumption, the calculation shows that Jesus' conception also happened on March 25. This means, Jesus was born exactly nine months later, or on December 25."
However some believers - known as Orthodox Christians - felt this was wrong and stuck with the Julian Calendar. By 1923, there was a 13-day difference between the two calendars, putting Orthodox Christmas 13 days after December 25, on 7 January.
Based on this winter solstice link, the "History of Religions hypothesis" or "Substitution theory" proposes the Church chose 25 December as the birthday of Jesus (dies Natalis Christi) to appropriate the Roman festival of the birthday of the Invincible Sun (dies Natalis Solis Invicti), held on the same date.
Why do we celebrate Christmas if Jesus was born in April?
Tertullian determined March 25th as the date for Jesus' death, based on when the Passover took place. March 25th is exactly nine months before December 25th, and therefore December 25th was selected as the date for Christ's birth.
The Month of April is dedicated both to devotion to the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ and to the Holy Eucharist - the proof of the promise of the love of God and of ETERNAL LIFE.
In its original Hebrew form, Jesus' name was Yeshua, a shortened version of Yehoshua (Joshua). The name carries the powerful meaning "Yahweh saves" or "Yahweh is salvation," or just simply, “salvation” emphasizing God's role as the Savior.
If we project Jesus' conception on or about December 24, and if we assume a normal pregnancy of 280 days, Jesus would have been born on or about September 29, 2 B.C.. Of course, this is only an approximate estimation.
As Robert Hiscock, the writer behind a blog called Product of Newfoundland, explains, it's based on an old calendar error. "It's called Old Christmas Day because once upon a time we followed a different calendar, and that calendar was wrong," Hiscock told CBC News.
It is celebrated on 25 December on the Julian calendar, which corresponds to 7 January on the Gregorian calendar (the calendar that is mostly used in Western society). It is considered a high holiday by the church, one of the 12 Great Feasts, and one of only four of which are preceded by a period of fasting.
Was it October, December, or April? Theories concerning the exact month when Jesus was born have been and still are a topic of scholarly debate. One of the most commonly suggested months is December. This is a traditional Church theory built upon the celebration of Christmas on December 25th.
Thus, Jesus was believed to have been conceived and crucified on the same day of the year. Exactly nine months later, Jesus was born, on December 25. This idea appears in an anonymous Christian treatise titled On Solstices and Equinoxes, which appears to come from fourth-century North Africa.
The idea that Jesus was born on September 11, 3 B.C. is presented in the book September 11th, The Day Jesus Christ Was Born by Tony Ray. The book examines astronomical, secular, and biblical records to support this claim. However, the date of Jesus' birth is not stated in the gospels or in any historical sources.
Christian churches and theologians traditionally hold that Jesus never married and remained celibate until his death. However, this has not prevented alternative and fringe theories of his sexuality, as the gospels and the rest of the New Testament do not focus on the subject.
What month was Jesus born according to the Hebrew calendar?
So, if you have followed the above reasoning, based on the scriptural evidence, a case can apparently be made that Jesus Christ was born on the 15th day of the month of Tishri, on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles, which corresponds to the September - October timeframe of our present calendar!
Therefore, He would have been born sometime in the year 4 BC. Adding 2022 years until now, He'd be approximately 2026 years old since his physical birth…. However, as the pre-incarnate Word made flesh (John 1:14), and being God, He is eternal so the question is is impossible to answer.
