I don't think we know exactly the date of Christs Birth ~ the Armenian Orthodox Church celebrates the Holy Birth on January 6th ~ the Russian Orthodox Church on January 7th and so on ~ actually the eastern Churches celebrate the Holy Birth for many days ~ while ChristMass is the a High Holy Time  ~ Easter or Sadig ~ is the Highest ~ as our Lords Rising is to Christianity the Cardinal event in the history of Mankind in relationship to The Faith ```

I like machines ~ the invention of the gear is in some ways as important as why we plant  and how we know it is Spring ~ we know it's Spring because it happened every year as we observed ```
