As a catholic, I was taught that the birth wasn't in early winter as is
celebrated, but that "we" hid ourselves by hiding our religous observances
within the Hebrew calendar. Just as well, because it turned out to be
mighty convenient for the non-fasting season to coincide with the
summer/fall bounty and the longest fast to coincide with the late
winter/spring when fresh food is mostly not available and stored foods are
dwindling.
Bonne
