Why is Bethlehem herding sheep at night?

The climate is cold and rainy. According to the Bible, Bethlehem is located at 365,438+0.42 minutes north latitude and 35 degrees 65,438+02 minutes east longitude. 12 On February 25th, it was winter in Bethlehem, and the climate was cold and rainy. At this time, shepherds usually keep their sheep in pens until after winter, that is, the end of March of the following year. Bethlehem was grazing in the wilderness. That's why Bethlehem keeps watch over the sheep because of the cold at night.
