i was wondering why they make the birth of our Lord Jesus in the month of december...here in riyadh, the temperature is freezing and the rest of the middle east is feeling the cold wind especially at night and early dawn.
in bethlehem right now people are wearing their winter clothes and it will be quite dumb if someone will wear their summer outfit in this kind of weather.
i never give a second thought the birth of Christ before , Bethlehem, just 854 miles from here seems so near , sheep don't go to the pasture at this time of the year since they will freeze to death therefore its not in the month of december that the nativity happened.
many people don't know this that here in middle east there's a winter season also. when i first came here i didn't bring any winter clothes thinking all of saudi arabia is desert and therefore its very hot. but came november and i first experienced my first winter since in my native country we don't have this kind of season.
the exact month of christmas is not important , its the spirit of christmas that we should rejoice knowing that two thousand years ago our saviour was born to save us from our sins.
merry christmas ...
