Interesting. Something can become a ‘tradition’ in less than 20 years.
The nativity story is well known to be an invention of Luke and Matthew. They saw a need to make a link between Jesus and David because of previous prophesies about the coming Messiah. Nearly all theologians who work at universities, religious or not, already know this story has nearly no chance of being historically “true.”
