The article is dead wrong in many places. The error comes from not knowing Jewish customs and traditions.
You simply cannot understand the new testament if you don't kow the old.

Such as the fact that all "sabbaths" did not occur on Saturday, hence the "Friday" death of Christ might actually be Wednesday?

I don't have the historical/exegetical erudition to refute or affirm your assertion, but I suspect Dr. Tighe and our own BibChr do. I emailed the link to Dr. Tighe, inviting him to respond.

Detail some... and I do mean this for edification, not argument.

Please elaborate on why the article is wrong. I want to learn. I've always been fascinated with the early Christian calendar. My birthday is March 25th. Thanks
