Hi Opal,
Because we are looking for sunsets as Sirius rises, that doesn't come up again,for 6 January or 25 December where it never did come up, the alignments would take at least 12,500 years.
There are interesting results for just before or just after the changeover Gregorian Calendar set in Rome.
Although the Calendar makers didn't repair the error all the way back to the start of the Julian Calendar in 0045 BC, but the Council of Nicaea in 0325, saw the error.
Although Caesar set the Vernal Equinox at 25 March and the Solstice fell on 25 December, by Gregorian Calendar it was back dated to the Council of Nicaea.
Interesting combinations of Belt of Orion and Sirius on old date and new Vernal Equinox and Winter Solstice just before and after date of establishment of the New Calendar, obviously not in Bethlehem but Rome, approx 1582. this may have been a sign for calendar changeover for Catholic fathers?
