A common misconception is that AD stands for After Death, meaning after the death of Christ, but it actually stands for Anno Domini, a Latin phrase that translates to "the year of our Lord". Thus, Christ was born in the year 1 AD. He died in the year 33 AD. Though his actual birthday was April 6, not December 25.

Just curious, where does April 6 come from? I've never heard that before

Bible historians have deduced that approximate date due to context clues. Not all of them agree on the exact date, but that's the average of all the estimates I've found.

Oh ok. I know I've heard it was probably spring, but I'd never heard a specific date before. I also read that we have the whole manager thing all wrong, too.
