    Source Christmas: The Birth That Gives Eternal Life ¶27Passage 536948 states that the cave-birth tradition goes back to 'the middle of the 2nd Century.'
    Why Mid-second-century tradition date expressed as circa 150 CE.
    Reasoning The witness directly places the emergence or established circulation of the tradition in the middle of the second century CE. Encoding the midpoint as circa 150 preserves the stated century-level approximation without inventing month or day.
