We do not know what month or what year Mary gave birth to Jesus. If he was born during the reign of King Herod the Great, Jesus must have been born before April 4 BCE, and probably long before then.
The tradition that Jesus was born on December 25th began during the fourth century, because this was the birthday of the sun god. By having celebrations for the birth of Jesus held on the same day, Christian authorities expected to draw attention away from the celebrations for the sun god.

On the diet mainly consisting of grains, a girl would have her first period at around 15 or 16 at which time she would get married. Good guesses include 16, 17, or 18. The Bible does not say.

Why is Mary called the Blessed Virgin Mary?
Our Blessed Mother, Mary is full of grace for many reasons. Of all humans after the Fall from grace of Adam and Eve, Mary alone was the only person born without the stain of original sin. This was allowed byGod Almighty in preparation for choosing her to be the Mother of Jesus, Mary still had a choice when the angel appeared to her at the Annunciation, and then she agrred to accept to be the woman that would become the Mother of the Living God. Again she was filled with grace as the shadow of the Holy Spirit came over her to plant the seed that would become Jesus. Next came the acceptance of Joseph in faith and obedience to be her spouse, the earthly"Father" of Jesus and protector of Mary and Jesus. Mary lived by faith her whole life,and faith is a given grace, not an intellectual choice. She was the Mother, but was taught by her Son. Her final grace while still on this earth was the Assumption.Rather than the cold of the grave, she was assumed into Heaven, there to be crowned Queen of Heaven. We also believe Mary to be "ever Vigin" Spotless before birth and pure for all eternity
