Jewish New Year

Today is the first day of Rosh Hashanah, or the Jewish New Year. While it is popularly known as a strictly Jewish holiday, it may also be the birthday of Jesus Christ. According to a theory put forth by respected scholar Dr. Ernest L. Martin, Christ was likely born on the first day of Rosh Hashanah in 3 BC. In his book 'The Star that astonished the world', he lays out what I think (as a layman) is a pretty compelling case, one which incorporates a wide swath of biblical, historical, and astronomical data. If he's right, it certainly makes for quite a 'coincidence'.
