  In this text Dr Percy Seymour explains why he believes that the story of the birth of Christ is a distortion of the truth and shrouded by half-truth and myth. He points to the idea that much of the accepted story is based on astrology, a study that is denounced by the church as witchcraft. Dr Seymour has recreated the star map of the sky over the Middle East at that time and demonstrates that the star followed by the three wise men or Magi was not a comet or supernova but an astronomical configuration of planets interpreted by the Magi as having great astrological significance in heralding the birth of a King. Dr Seymour's research attempts to explain the story of the Virgin birth and the significance of the Christian fish symbol whilst also pinpointing the date of Jesus' birth to several years before the universally accepted time.

  Almost 2000 years ago, the earth saw the dawning of the age of pisces. This new era brought with it the birth of Christianity heralded by the magi, more commonly known as the three wise men . Here, using computer-generated star maps and other research, the author aims to answer such questions as: what was the astronomical phenomenon knows as the star of Bethlehem , and how did it lead the magi to the birthplace of Christ?; what is the real date of Christ's birth, and how can the the enigma of the virgin birth be explained?; and why is the fish such an important feature of Christian symbolism?
