It is a question that has puzzled historians and theologians for centuries – when was Jesus Christ crucified? The date of the crucifixion is important because it helps us to determine the time frame of Jesus’ ministry. In this blog post, we will explore different theories about the date of the crucifixion and discuss what evidence we have to help us determine an answer. Stay tuned for more information!

Theories About When Jesus Christ Was Crucified

One theory suggests that Jesus was crucified on April 25th in the year 30 AD. This theory is based on the work of Dionysius Exiguus, a sixth-century monk who calculated the date of Christ’s birth. According to Dionysius, Christ was born in the year we now call 0 AD and was crucified in the year 30 AD. This theory has been widely accepted by historians and theologians over the centuries.

However, there is also evidence to suggest that Jesus was crucified on April 14th in the year 33 AD. This theory is based on the work of Josephus, a first-century historian who wrote about the events surrounding Christ’s crucifixion. In his work, Josephus mentions that the Jewish holiday of Passover was taking place at the time of the crucifixion. Since we know that Passover falls on April 14th in 33 AD, some scholars believe this is the date of Christ’s crucifixion.

Final Thoughts

So, what do we conclude from all this evidence? It is difficult to say for sure. However, the most likely date of the crucifixion seems to be April 14th in 33 AD. This is the date that is most supported by historical evidence and it fits well with the account of Josephus. Whatever the true date may be, we can be sure that Jesus Christ was crucified on a Friday afternoon and that his sacrifice was the ultimate act of love. Thank you for reading!
