What is the date of Christ’s crucifixion?
Several years in the early 30’s A.D. have been proposed, and several dates in early April. It is a certainty that the Lord was crucified on Passover. The convenience of the lunar calendar used by the Biblical writers makes it clear that the correct anniversary of our Lord’s crucifixion would be the first full moon of Spring, every year, whatever that date happens to be on the western calendar. For a good definitive subject, we recommend you read the book Chronological Aspects of the Life of Christ by Harold Hoehner.
