Christmas On Friday -- A Paradox?

Today is Christmas, the birthday of Jesus.  This year, it falls on a Friday, the day of the week that Jesus died on the cross, that Catholic say the rosary meditating on the Sorrowful Mysteries [1].  To have the birth and death of Jesus sharing the same day of the week is a paradox [2], or not?

The Gospel of Luke says: "While [Mary and Joseph] were [in Bethlehem], the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son.  She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them." [3]  A manger is defined as "a box or trough in a stable or barn from which horses or cattle eat." [4]

Luke 2 sets the stage for Jesus being food, not for the body but for the soul in preparation for its journey to Heaven and Matthew 2 details the Magi's visit as Jesus was laying in the manger: upon Jesus the three wise men came, guided by a star "until it stopped over the place where the child [Jesus] was.  When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.  On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him.  Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh." [5]

"The gift of gold to the Christ child was symbolic of His divinity--God in flesh." [6]  Frankincense is a symbol of holiness and righteousness.  The gift of frankincense to the Christ child was symbolic of His willingness to become a sacrifice, wholly giving Himself up, analogous to a burnt offering." [7]  "[Myrrh] was a spice and was used in embalming.  It was also sometimes mingled with wine to form an article of drink.  Such a drink was given to our Savior when He was about to be crucified, as a stupefying potion (Mark 15:23).  Matthew 27:34 refers to it as 'gall.'  Myrrh symbolizes bitterness, suffering and affliction.  The baby Jesus would grow to suffer greatly as a man and would pay the ultimate price when He gave His life on the cross for [the salvation of] all who would believe in Him." [8]

It is thus clear that Christmas day falling on a Friday in this 2015th year is not a paradox but a harmony. [9]
