The historical Y'shua bar Yosef was born on April 17, 6 BC or by the Julian Calendar used by the Romans at that time: 17/4/747 AUC (ab urbe condita [since the founding of Roma]). This date made Jesus an Aries the Ram, baby rams are lambs, and Jesus was/is considered the "Lamb of God". The Israelites learned astrology during their captivity in Babylon and the Dead Sea Scrolls document that they used it during the Roman occupation. The Magi - Persian wiseman - were astrologers. Astronomer Michael Molnar discovered this date in 1997 and wrote The Star of Bethlehem: The Legacy of the Magi (Rutgers Univ. Press, ISBN:0-8135-2701-5), see http://michaelmolnar.com . Since then, April 17, 6 BC has been reported as Jesus' actual birthdate by the BBC Video Jesus: The Complete Story (2001), Discovery Channel, History Channel Christmas special, CNN, CBS Christmas Specials (December 2008 & 2009), and FOX. The nine Knights Templar excavated the Jerusalem Temple Mount (and the Jesus Family Tomb) between 1119-28 AD. They found several important scrolls including one with Y'shua bar Yosef's birthdate and took the information to the Pope. This scroll and information was passed on through the centuries; the Cathars knew it and were persecuted for it along with other heretical beliefs and practices. The Freemasons eventually learned it and encoded it when verse numbers were first added to the English Bible and Matthew 4:17 became Jesus' first teaching and the "star prophecy" of Numbers 24:17, etc. In 1717 AD, 4 London74 Masonic74 Lodges formed the first ''Grand Lodge''. The US Founding Fathers/Freemasons (Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Hancock, and others) encoded July 4, 1776 and 'coincidentally', Franklin died on 4/17/1790, GW on 12/14/1799 (and John Adams & Thomas Jefferson both died on 7/4/1826).
The Roman Catholic Church has held for centuries that Jesus was crucified on the first full-day of Passover Friday April 7, 30 AD or 7/4/782 AUC. This means that the Christ was 34-years-old at the time and turned 35 ten days later.
