Jesus, as described in the New Testament, was most likely crucified on Friday April 3, 33 A.D.
The latest investigation, reported in the journal International Geology Review, focused on earthquake activity at the Dead Sea, located 13 miles from Jerusalem. The Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 27, mentions that an earthquake coincided with the crucifixion

"Oh the computer is going to think it is 1900 and planes weren't invented until after that so all the planes are going to crash!"
Really people? Computers don't think except in movies.
Yes I know about the chess playing computer but it is just calculating the move advantageous move from all the ones that have been programed into it. It is not actually thinking.
If such rather nonintuitive language wasn’t already used in Jewish religious tradition, I too would say nonsense.
But it is used. And that’s the culture in which Christianity and the early church had its start, and that’s why there’s no scandal about Good Friday being Good Friday and not Good Wednesday.
Yeah, we missed the second coming too...
Oh good grief. “Think” is used of computers only figuratively. (The same could be said of “believe.”) Digital computers are designed and built to do things that are a lot like human reasoning, but with no attempt to imitate the larger capabilities of such reasoning. And even if such imitation were possible that would only be an imitation, and one that is under control of the operator. It would not have a soul.
That is how Blockbuster counts their 3-day rental. Rent a movie at 10:00 pm and you’ve already had it one full day.
its my conjecture the ‘sign of Jonas’ Jesus gave to a ‘wicked and adulterous generation’ has far more meaning than just the three days and three nights in the tomb, it was that too, and I'm equally impressed if its only 1 day.
I believe Jesus(the Temple made flesh) was crucified on Wednesday April 9th, 32 AD and it was exactly 14,000 days later the physical Temple was destroyed on August 10-12th 70 AD (9th of AV)
Their (Israel's)house was left desolate. This was the meaning of what Jesus told the women crying as they marched him past them to the cross, “weep for yourselves, and for your children”
“For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?” Luke 23:31
there is far more going on with this timeline and the alignments of days than many are aware.
Sounds interesting, and I will take a look at it. Thanks for mentioning it.
