Some scholars think that he was born between 6 B.C. and 4 B.C., based partly on the biblical story of Herod the Great. Not long before Herod's demise, which is believed to have occurred in 4 B.C., the ruler of Judea supposedly ordered the death of all male infants who were under the age of two and lived in the vicinity of Bethlehem, in an attempt to kill Jesus.

Christmas is celebrated on 25th December to honour the birth of Jesus. But the actual date of his birth was unclear. 25th was chosen as the date to coincide with existing pagan festivals honoring Saturn (the Roman god of agriculture) and Mithra (the Persian god of light) which according to pagan traditions as sacred. That way, it became easier to convince Rome’s pagan subjects to accept Christianity as the empire’s official religion.

How were the writer of the story Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the writer of the song Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer related?

They were brothers-in-law.

Robert L. May created the character Rudolph as an assignment for Montgomery Ward. His brother-in-law Johnny Marks decided to adapt the story of Rudolph into a song.
