Appendix I:  Chart 2 

The Birth and Crucifixion of Christ 

(years compared to days of the week) 

    According to my  interpretation of the writings of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, Christ was born on 

Sunday, Nov. 25 and crucified on Friday, Nisan 14, which was also April 7. The length of time from Christ's 

Incarnation to His Crucifixion is 33 years plus six weeks. (See chapters 2 and 4.) Christ was born in the same 

calendar year as His Incarnation. Thus the year of Christ's Crucifixion is the 33rd year from the year of 

Christ's Incarnation and Birth. If Christ were born in 

A.D.

 1, then He was crucified in 

A.D.

 34. If Christ were 

born in 1 

B.C.

, then He was crucified in 

A.D.

 33. And so on. 

    This chart compares days of the week for Nov. 25 to days of the week for Nisan 14, 33 years apart. 

Whenever Nisan 14 would fall on a Thursday, the start of Nisan was delayed one day to prevent Nisan 15 

from interfering with Friday, the preparation day of the Sabbath. Whenever there is doubt as to whether or not 

the 13th month of AdarII was added (prior to Nisan), both possible dates for Nisan 14 are given. At such 

times, Nisan 14 either falls in mid March or mid April, no where near April 7. 

    Leap years in the Julian calendar, prior to 4

 Days of 

the week were determined by Universal Calendar Calculator software program.

 Nisan 1 new moon dates 

(used to determine the dates for Nisan 14 below) were determined by RedShift 3 software and checked against 

data from the Five Millennia Catalog of Phases of the Moon.

    The chart below shows that 

A.D.

 19 and 

A.D.

 30 are the only years which fit the details given by Blessed 

Anne Catherine about the Birth and Crucifixion of Christ, (i.e. that Nisan 14 coincided with both a Friday and 

with April 7, 33 years after a year when Nov. 25 was a Sunday).  If the Jewish calendar was determined by 

calculation of new moon dates, then 

A.D.

 19 is the only year which fits; but if the calendar was determined by 

observation of the crescent new moon, then 

A.D.

 30 is the only year which fits. The Nisan 14 dates below are 

by calculation, not observation (unless otherwise noted). The date by observation would be one or two days 

later. See chapter 17 for my conclusion that the calendar was determined by calculation, not observation, 

during this time period.
