Exactly. Sunday was a witness to the WORK done on The Cross.

There is calender proof of when the 14th of Nissan was in the years covering 29AD to 35AD. The Catholic Church just chose the day in 33AD. 29AD it was on Saturday. Most of those years the 14th of Nissan landed on a Monday. There was no Thursday at all. AD 30, the Day was Wednesday. There is no proof that Jesus was born on the current 0 year of the Calendar. Most agree it was between 4BC and 1AD. Friday is the 33AD day, so probably the wrong day and year, even though the current calendar is based on that supposition. By the way, the day the Catholics use as a Friday, is April 1, otherwise known as April fools day....

Sir Isaac Newton was the person wbo first came up with the 33AD date.

There is no zero year as such. Since 0AD is 1BC and 0BC is 1AD.

You really think the church did not know the date? Encyclopedia Britannica says the days were divided after the 4th century. The Gregorian calender was introduced in 1582. When do you think they had a fixed day? All Isaac Newton did was point out, since we celebrate it on Friday, it must have been in AD33. I pointed out it could not have been in AD33. Jesus was not born on the 0 time frame of the Gregorian calender. Jesus died during his 33rd year. Since most say the birth was closer to 4BC then Jesus would have been 33 in AD30.

Newton was not bad with his math. But 2000 years from AD 30 is 2030. Jesus definitely did not die in AD60. I do not know how Newton was figuring it out. But the church age was only going to last for 2000 years, so Newton was pretty close.

The church age started on the cross, the second the Law of Moses ended. It was not the destruction of an earthly temple. It was the Atonement on the cross, by the Messiah, Jesus Christ. If Newton was going by the destruction in 70AD and what led up to it, that could be why he was off by some 30+ years.

In the past, my church has held a Maundy ("new commandment") Thursday service, where we remembered and meditate upon the events of the Last Supper, the new commandment (John 13:34) to "love one another, just as I have loved you...", and then end with a hymn, like Jesus and the 11 disciples did.

We have always and continue to hold a Good Friday service, remembering the trial and death of Christ, often meditating on His words on the cross and the events surrounding His death. We leave in silence. (In the years since we have discontinued the Maundy Thursday service, we have communion in reference to His body being broken and His blood being poured out on our behalf.)

We always celebrate Easter Sunday, where we recognized that everything Jesus said is true and that we get to share in the life of Jesus for all eternity.

Good, long as y'all remember a few things:

1.) Lent, Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday, & Maundy Thursday are not found in Scripture. And neither is Easter !

2.) There's no way to get 3 days & nights from Friday to Sunday, so "Good Friday" is man-made.

3. The actual anniversary days of Jesus' death & resurrection seldom fall on Friday or Sunday. Simply look to see what day passover (Seder) starts each year. Remember, Jesus died on the 1st day of passover, with the "Last Supper", His arrest, trial, 'passion', & death all occurring within that 24 hours.

But there's nothing wrong with honoring & celebrating the resurrection of Jesus, which is the central event & basis of all Christianity

Actually, Jesus was likely born in the Fall of 6 BC, as Luke said it was while Quirinius was governor of the area. Quirinius, whose life during Augustus Caesar's reign is well-documented, left the area in 6 BC.

Lent is mentioned in the Bible seven times! (and isnt "7" the perfect number??)

Exo 12:36

But it aint the RCC observance they call Lent. I just lent somem thought to that. ! (The 'lent' that's mentioned is "loaned".)

And don't forget the KJV mentions reckless driving !

Acts 5:12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.)

Without getting into a debate of should it be Good Wed. Good Thu. Or Good Fri. (Lets assume Friday for this discussion)

Do we over prioritize ressurrection day and under prioritize crucifixion day?
Satan was defeated at the moment of Jesus physical death. The veil was rent. Satan was defeated. Satan's only chance for victory was to tempt the humanity of Christ to sin. His ladt chance for victory was to tempt the Human Jesus to come down from the cross. When Jesus physically died, Satan was defeated. His last and greatest effort to tempt Christ had failed. At that point, the resurrection was a done deal. It was in the hands of The Father.

Why do we celebrate the resurrection and not the crucifixion?

The resurrection authenticated God's promise of eternal life to all those who believe. If Jesus did not rise from the grave bodily, our faith is in vain. I think the Easter celebration teaches what Christ's substitutionary sacrifice accomplished on Friday, providing us in Christ His propitiatory shelter, but even so we groan and look forward in hope of His return, and our bodily redemption.
