@JAD, the reason the Christian Church set the Birth of Christ in late December, while John’s birth was set 6 months earlier (per Luke 1: 26, 36), in late June, was because John said (in John 3:30) “He must increase; I must decrease.” So, at John’s birth, the sun is beginning to decrease, while at Jesus it is increasing.
