Thanks! Oh, and I can explain the Christmas Eve--February 2 thing. February 2 is Candlemas, a holy day in Catholicism, the day that Mary and Joseph presented the baby Jesus in the temple. Symbolically associated with light and purity, Candlemas is the fortieth day (and end of) the Christmas season.

Forty days before February 2 is December 24.

So the cult leader got the day wrong but the season right. She just thought that the Antichrist would be born at the beginning of the Christmas season rather than the end.
