Cygnus the Swan is also called the Northern Cross. It's a larger constellation, but fainter than the Southern Cross. Around Christmas time you can see the cross in an upright manner (the Swan would be flying towards the horizon), just above the horizon right after sunset. Is this a sign that Christianity is the true religion and Christ was born near Dec 25? I don't think so.
