Astronomers 'pinpoint time and date of
crucifixion and resurrection'
Two Romanian
astronomers say their research shows Christ died at 3:00 pm on a Friday,
and rose again at 4:00 am on a Sunday.
Liviu Mircea and Tiberiu
Oproiu claim to have pinpointed the exact time and date of Christ's
crucifixion and resurrection.
The pair, from the Astronomic
Observatory Institute in Cluj, Romania, say Jesus died at 3:00 pm on
Friday, 3 April, 33 AD, and rose again at 4:00 am on Sunday, 5
April.
They used a computer program to check biblical references
against historical astronomical data.
They said the New Testament
stated that Jesus died the day after the first night with a full moon,
after the vernal equinox.
Using data gathered on the stars between
26 and 35 AD they established that in those nine years, the first full
moon after the vernal equinox was registered twice - on Friday, 7 April,
30 AD, and on Friday, 3 April, 33 AD.
They were convinced the date
of the crucifixion was 33 AD, and not 30 AD, because records showed a
solar eclipse, as depicted in the Bible at the time of Jesus' crucifixion,
occurred in Jerusalem that year.
