By a follower of (James) Jacques-Joseph Tissot, French, 1836-1902. Gouache on board.

I am doing some research on the nativity of Jesus of Nazareth. I am looking into the many sectarian traditions and scholarly opinions on this subject.

I would like to get hermeneutic opinions and off the cuff opinions on some groundwork questions.

1. What actual year do you think Jesus was born?

2. How old was Mary when she was married?

3. How did Mary conceive?

4. What is the significance of his birthplace?

5. What is the significance of the Magi who sought him after his birth?

6. Why was it necessary or significant for an angel to tell Mary she was going to conceive?

Where possible, links or citations would be useful for particular opinions or traditional explanations.
