Actually its not accurate because the Bible says Jesus was born when Herod was in power and Herod died in 4 BC so Jesus could not have been born in 3 BC
One thing we can agree on it's not December 25th, but around September or October. What do you think?
How do you account for "baby" animals in Sept or Oct? I've always felt it was spring
Hmm, good question. I am not familiar with animals and their own seasons. But given it's the birth of Christ and it was in a place where farm animals would be at.
Most animals give birth in the spring.
There's no requirement in the text that there were baby animals. A lamb of the first year, mentioned in ritual rules, doesn't mean a lamb of exactly one year old with a set birthdate, it means a lamb born within the last year.

Oh interesting, thanks for the information.
If you read the article, there is evidence to support Herod died in 1 BC. I donโt know whatโs right or wrong, but just sayinโ
I don't know why somebody downvoted this comment; your statement is accurate. Herod's reign ending in 1 BC was mentioned as a possibility in the article.
---> For about 100 years there has been a consensus among scholars that Herod the Great reigned from 37 to 4 BCE. However, there have been several challenges to this consensus over the past four decades, the most notable being the objection raised by W. E. Filmer. This paper argues that Herod most likely reigned from late 39 BCE to early 1 BCE, and that this reconstruction of his reign can account for all of the surviving historical references to the events of Herodโs reign more logically than the current consensus can. Moreover, the reconstruction of Herodโs reign proposed in this paper accounts for all of the datable evidence relating to Herodโs reign, whereas the current consensus is unable to explain some of the evidence that it dismisses as ancient errors or that it simply ignores.
