That's the key point -- Christ's springtime birth was confirmed by what the shepherds were doing. "Watching over their flocks at night" referred to protecting newborn lambs from predators.Indeed. Even in Israel, it can snow in wintertime and the temps do get down to freezing. Sheperds are NOT out in their fields then, and lambs don't arrive until spring. So likely it was around April of 4 or 6 BC.
