The Crucifixion on Monday, April 18th, 29 AD: A Historical, Astronomical, Prophetic, and Symbolic Reassessment

ENGLISH & SPANISH Based on the research findings: The Crucifixion on Monday, April 14th, 32 CE: An Interdisciplinary Analysis Why Saturday is Not Saturday, Nor Sunday Sunday? Abstract This study establishes Monday, April 18th, 29 AD (Julian calendar) as the most probable historical date for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Correcting a previous error that pointed only to 32 AD, it identifies that both 29 and 32 AD satisfy the astronomical criterion of Nisan 14 falling on a Monday. That Monday corresponds to the traditional ”Good Friday” once we account for the change in the day-reckoning system (ancient: day begins at sunset; modern: at dawn). Among the two candidates, the year 29 AD offers a superior convergence: it fits the New Testament chronology (46 years of the Temple, three Passovers); its Pentecost coincides with a total lunar eclipse visible from Jerusalem (fulfilling Acts 2:20); it presents a unique symbolic pattern in Sagittarius (the Moon moves from Scorpius to Sagittarius); it aligns with the midpoint of the 70th week of Daniel 9; and it has the support of early patristic sources. Therefore, the Passover of 29 AD is the most probable date for the crucifixion
