[edit] Events
[edit] By place
[edit] Judea
- Another date often cited by modern day astrologers is April 18, 5 BC at 4am. At this time, all the known planets were in alignment across the Eastern Horizon, a very powerful astronomical sight, and something that would have been noticed even by those who were not astrologers back then.[citation needed]
[edit] Births
- The birthdates of John the Baptist (see 8 BC) and Jesus are not generally known, but 5 BC is often assumed to be the date. The Passover feast (often around April 21) has been cited as a (possible) date for the birth of Christ, assuming that this had relevance to being a Messiah claimant, or that his birthday might have been related to Passover. (See 33.)
