It appears there are some mistakes in the presentation above. For instance, it is stated that Krishna (when he is compaired to Jesus) was born to a chaste virgin. But  Krishna was the 8th son, so he could not have been born of a virgin. It is also stated that Krishna was crucified, but he died in the woods, shot in the foot with an arrow.

I think that various teachings of pagan origin got all mixed up and overlapped throughout the ages and many traditions. They also overlay over the Jesus birth story. One really needs to disentangle them from one another.

There are people who claim that Jesus could not have been born on December 25 and give some valid reasons why. You can find one such reasoning on this website

Even in Roman writings it says that Immanuel is born of the Verga, is this an implication to astrological time, the seventh house, September/October the sign of Virgo the virgin? In ancient Jewish traditions a noble person that could rise to his position would have to be born at this time. It was the birthing time of the lambs, and what other time could the lamb of g-d be born? Remember people had a prediction of his coming by reading the stars and in about 7BCE there was a major alignment where the planets were in their natal houses.
