The Chronology of Jesus Christ's birth is depicted in the first four books of the New Testament referred to as the canonical gospels. The birth of Christ was predicted in the Old Testament books of the Bible. Determining the approximate date was established by evaluating the time frame based on the Jewish festivals and other events that were mentioned in the canonical gospels during that period.
The exact year of Jesus birth has not been accurately established. Two possible time periods have been cited as the possible year (or sometime during these periods) of His birth.
