Today is Good Friday – in Australia, at least; it’s still the day before in some parts of the world. Today, many Christians celebrate and remember Yehoshua ha’Mashiach/Jesus the Christ’s death by crucifixion on a Friday, and His resurrection 3 days later on a Sunday.
BUT – it’s all a myth. No, Yeshua’s crucifixion and resurrection is absolutely NOT a myth in any way, shape or form – nor is it “non-literal”, as some absurdly claim. However, the tale of “Good Friday” is a myth. Allow me to elaborate.
The Bible is clear that Jesus was raised on a Sunday. More specifically, Saturday night. And since in Biblical times days were counted from sunset to sunset, what we call Saturday night was in fact Sunday – or to use the Biblical phrase, “first day of the week”. (There was no “Sunday sunrise resurrection”; it was during the night.) And it…

However, Saturday was the sabbath and the Saturday is still celebrated as the Lord’s Day by some. Christmas is nowhere near the actual date of Christ’s birth either.
Like clocks and calendars, religious/Christian celebrations are locked in time by humans, for humans. At the end of “time” as we humans know it, none of this will matter.
🙂 Good points made though in your post.

Thanks.
(Incidentally, while one can’t pin Christ’s birth date with absolute certainty, there is an actual possibility that it was in late December – although I should emphasise POSSIBILITY. Yeshua was conceived 6 months into Elizabeth’s pregnancy, and was thus born 6 months after John – and roughly 12, 12 1/2 months after Zechariah received the vision about his son. Each priest was a member of a course, and each course served twice a year. Depending on whether Zechariah was serving on the Abijah course’s first or second stint, Yeshua would’ve been born either around Sukkot in early/mid October, or Hanukkah in late December.)

Anything is possible. Once upon a time we didn’t have 12 months in our calendar year.
Have a great Easter.
