Don’t you know when your Messiah was crucified?

Thank you to the torrent of an email in response to my ammonite post asking when easter is and how it is calculated. My correspondent has a serious stammer and can’t even type Google without day-long problems.

Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox (thank you R@G) (March 21st). Which means that Jesus could have been crucified on one of four Good Fridays, been sent to Hell for three of twelve days and resurrected on one of four Easter Sundays. I hope he was resurrected before four in the afternoon or all the shops would have been shut. Poor bugger.

Anyway, this is the religion that tells us that its writings are the literal, revealed world of God, but can’t tell us exactly when its Messiah was crucified. Something I would have thought would stick in the mind like crowns of thorns in a scalp.
