Just an FYI, if Jesus was conceived on March 25, Mary's due date would have been December 16. I just tried the ivillage due date calculator. The first day of a pregnancy is not the date of conception, it is actually two weeks prior (they always assume in this basic calculation that the mother ovulates 14 days after the first day of her last period).
I had to read this twice to be sure that you really, truly, did indeed put Jesus' mother's "conception" date into the iVillage due date calculator. And analyzed it.
This is, hands-down, the best post I have ever read on DCUM.
