From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Nativity of Christ
      The birth of our Lord took place at the time and place predicted
      by the prophets (Gen. 49:10; Isa. 7:14; Jer. 31:15; Micah 5:2;
      Hag. 2:6-9; Dan. 9:24, 25). Joseph and Mary were providentially
      led to go up to Bethlehem at this period, and there Christ was
      born (Matt. 2:1, 6; Luke 2:1, 7). The exact year or month or day
      of his birth cannot, however, now be exactly ascertained. We
      know, however, that it took place in the "fulness of the time"
      (Gal. 4:4), i.e., at the fittest time in the world's history.
      Chronologists are now generally agreed that the year 4 before
      the Christian era was the year of Christ's nativity, and
      consequently that he was about four years old in the year 1 A.D.
