The date of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ has been determined
NASA research has allowed scientists from Oxford University to suggest that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ took place on Friday, April 3, 33 AD.
According to calculations of the trajectory of the Earth, the Moon and the Sun, it was on this day over Jerusalem that a lunar eclipse occurred.
The moon acquired a characteristic reddish hue, which may explain the biblical reference to “the moon that became like blood.” This is reported by the Daily Mail.
The image of a blood moon is found in the Book of Joel and quoted by the Apostle Peter in the “Acts of the Apostles” 50 days after the event.
Some scholars believe that he was not speaking of future prophecy but was recalling actual events that occurred on the day of Christ’s crucifixion.
The study, based on NASA calculations and historical evidence, allowed the authors to hypothesize.
Jesus was indeed crucified on the day of an ancient lunar eclipse that was visible from Jerusalem shortly after sunset.
The coincidence with the Jewish calendar also supports this version.
The Passover, during which, according to the Gospel, Christ’s sufferings took place, is tied to the full moon.
