The Catholics decided Friday was the day he died,

What I don't get is they say he was born Dec. 25th (which the day of the week changes each year, of course), yet he died on a Friday (No actual date) and his death is only known as a Friday - specifically Good Friday.

Why no actual date like April 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.? Not trying to be funny, just never understood that. And, don't tell me because he was resurrected on a Sunday. That's great, but again, why no actual date? Why do we always celebrate Easter on a Sunday? Christmas can be any day of the week.

Something so sacred and essential to so many seems like it should be locked tight.

Yet…

The Last Supper prior to Jesus arrest, death, and resurrection was during the Jewish Passover, specifically the Seder meal on Thursday.

Jesus was the Sacrificial Lamb culminating this Jewish tradition, Easter is observed with that in mind

I get that and I guess I can understand the Jewish Religion continuing the Easter always on Sunday thing, but I don't understand the other religions not trying to find the exact date he was crucified and rose from the dead.

It shouldn't be that hard to do.

And, I agree that Jesus most probably wasn't born on Dec. 25th. That was the an agreement so that the Romans could get their traditions in.

It's not that important. What is important is the Jesus is our sacrificial lamb

I wish people would actually read the bible

Just read Leviticus 23 closely

Then read Matt 12:40 and work your way backwards from the feast of first fruits

it isn't rocket science

Thursday. He was crucified on Thursday

Palm Sunday is Lamb Selection Day - Nissan 10, Exodus 12:5

He is examined Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday then killed on Thursday

He is Killed on Passover (the day after ANY feast is considered a sabbath making Thursday viable), dead and buried during the feast of unleavened bread as the nation prays for life to come out of the ground, and rises on Feast of First Fruits

In first century Jewish culture, the Sabbath ended on Saturday after sunset. I hope this helps.

Not only that, but I believe they counted that "day", even if it was only part of a day.

So:

Crucified on Friday afternoon (Day 1)
Laid in the Tomb Saturday (Day 2)
Resurrected on Sunday (Day 3)

It's not 24 hour days. It's just what day of the week it happened on.

Christ died on the Passover, which according the Lev 23, is on the 14th day of the first month. He was buried and was in the grave three days and three nights and rose at the end of the Sabbath. The women came early the first day of the week (after he had already risen). That’s how we get Sunday morning resurrection, even though he really rose on the 7th day.

At the council of Nicea, it was decided that Easter Sunday would not align with Passover, but instead would be on the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs after the vernal equinox. That’s how we get Sunday.

So, he died on April 14th, but it always be known as the Friday after Passover because of the Council of Nicea, I guess led by Constatine?

Good Information. Thanks.

No, the calendar we are on now is the Gregorian calendar. The calendar at that time was based on the moon and sun. The first day of every month was the new moon. So the 14th day was the full moon. The first month of the year was in the Spring, so April 1 was actually the Passover this year (full moon).

Sure, glad to share. I’ve been studying this topic for the past few months and enjoy discussing the topic.

How are you coming to this when many biblical scholars believe he was crucified on Friday, April 3, 33 AD based on all of the evidence in the Bible?

Because they aren’t reading the Bible in its totality

They don’t understand the purpose or rules of the festivals and how vital they are to passion week.

Leviticus 23 specifically says the first day of unleavened bread is a Sabbath…which always follows Passover regardless of the day of the week, and may have been called a High Sabbath.

Meaning, if Nissan 14, aka Passover, fell on a Tuesday then Wednesday would be treated as a Sabbath because it kicked off Unleavened Bread.

The 10th is Lamb selection day - according to Exodus 12:5 - we call it Palm Sunday.

Jesus was in the grave THREE days AND THREE nights.

If Jesus arrives on Lamb selection day, there are 4 distinct days described in scripture from this point, landing on Thursday. The next day is ALWAYS a Sabbath - the start of the Festival that explicitly celebrates bringing life from the death of seeds in the ground (think about this). Then the following Sunday is ALWAYS Feast of First fruits - aka EASTER. Go read 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 and connect the dots.
