No one knows for sure. The New Testament provides conflicting time frames.

Jesus was born on or before 4BCE, because Herod died 4BCE.

Jesus was born on or after 6CE, because Cyrenius became governor of Syria on 6CE:-

Luke2:2 And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria. 2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

However, we do know it was on the Feast of Tabernacles (September-October).

AnswerThe date in December was chosen by the Catholic Church in the early middle ages because instead of replacing a pagan celebration of the winter solace they changed the reason for the celebration to the birth of Jesus. Historians think that his actual birthday is in the late Spring or early summer. The clues are in the story. It tells of the Shepard's watching the flocks of sheep and that would take place in warm weather. The census that took place was also done later in the year and the fact that they travelled the way they did also shows it wasn't very cold. AnswerNo one knows when Jesus' real birthday was. Some have suggested it could have been in the summer months, because the shepherds were minding their flocks at night. However, this may not really be a guide to Jesus' birthday, as some scholars say that the story of the shepherds is not really true. AnswerThe answer as to the correct date is problematic, as we really don't know. Some sources place the date to be between March 28 to May 20 while others somewhere around the end of September. Early January is another time period that has been suggested. Each proponent gives what is claim to reasonable interpretation of known facts and/or likely occurrences to support their view.
