Coming up on the actual 2,000 year anniversary of when Christ was crucified

[Doug Brents]

I'm interested in this but having a difficult time wrapping my head around the issues.

So how does the moon phase correlate with the Passover?

I also think it was a Thursday crucifixion for this reason.

The site it came from is:

Passover dates 26-34 A

intercontinentalcog.org

The author of this chart argues that Jesus was crucified on Wednesday, and that the High Sabbath was on Thursday, with a day of normal activity on Friday, and another sabbath on Saturday, before Jesus' resurrection Saturday evening. I do not believe that this gives enough time for the things that are said to have occurred during Sunday through Wednesday in the Gospels, but I have not finished correlating the Gospels to get my own read on what all happened on what days. I know He was not crucified on Friday. It had to have been either Wednesday or Thursday, and I lean toward Thursday right now.

Here are a couple of links to others who have put timelines together for the "Holy Week" (there are many more).

I believe that the resurrection occurred sometime between just after sundown on Saturday and 4 o'clock on Sunday morning (I lean toward later in the morning).

hopefully there will be no more days soon.

the sun will go dark.

Was it Peter who referenced those verses relative to the "outpouring of the Spirit"?

I agree with Wednesday but timing via celestial events relative to our current date is almost impossible.

From some research I did, I estimate Christ was probably crucified in April of 31 AD/CE.

It's just an amazing thought I will probably live through the literal 2,000 year anniversary or Christ's crucifixion if 2031 ever rolls around.

I ran across a searchable Hebrew/Roman calendar while discussing Christmas with people this past Christmas season.

Attached are a couple screenshots of Nisan, in the Hebrew calendar and the Roman Calendar, along with the holiday dates.

Hebrew Calendar

I think too that this calendar would allow for more research into the timing for the decree to restore and rebuild the streets of Jerusalem (Daniel 9), and palm Sunday, when Jesus entered the city on a donkey.

I seem to recall a convincing argument that Jesus was born 6 BC (which means He was born 6 years before he was born). Not sure how that plays into the passover dates.

It's long been commonly accepted knowledge that he was born between 6 and 4 bc.
As Luke (3:23) says he was about 30 years old when he began his ministry, he would have died when he was 33.
Check the Hebrew calendar I provided a link to.

Reminds me of the time I flew back to the USA from New Zealand and arrived before I departed. (Time change, obviously.)

I've heard such stories before.... I always get a kick out of them.
