Was Good Friday on Friday? A Wednesday Crucifixion Makes More Sense.
Mar 11th
Everyone knows that the Crucifixion occurred on a Friday, because the next day was a Sabbath. Right? But that is the only reason that supports a Friday Crucifixion, and Biblically, most Passover Sabbaths do not fall on Saturdays. A Wednesday Crucifixion makes more sense.
Many scholars today are convinced that a Wednesday Crucifixion fits best with both scripture and Jewish tradition. So as Easter approaches, we might consider abandoning the traditional timeline, and adopting a Biblical one – one that would allow Christ to be in the tomb three days and three nights, as the Bible teaches. But be prepared to alter some basic understandings. A historically accurate timeline begins with the realization that there were two twos during the Passion Week. In other words, there were two Passover meals, and also two Sabbaths.
In order for all of the scriptures in the Gospel to fall neatly into place, the Crucifixion would have occurred on Wednesday afternoon, the day after Christ celebrated the Passover supper. Then, according to the Gospels, on Wednesday evening, Jerusalem celebrated a Passover supper. The reason for the double celebration is simple. Because Christ came from Galilee, which is outside Jerusalem, he was expected to observe two Passovers in succession. In fact, there was a practical reason for the double celebration – it was to insure that if the calendar in the outlying area was off by a day, that at least one of the two celebrations would be in sync with the official celebration in Jerusalem.
