    Crucifixion 32 AD Calendar Test

    Very High Level 5

    Fact

    Testing calendar theories against the scriptural fact that the crucifixion was on preparation day (day before Sabbath)

    Evidence

    • Given: All four Gospels agree the crucifixion was on 'preparation day' (day before Sabbath)

    • Given: Passover is on the 14th of the 1st month

    • Given: Multiple independent lines of evidence establish 32 AD as the crucifixion year

    • Test: What day of week does Passover 14th fall on under different calendar systems?

    • Dark Moon + Saturday Sabbath: Passover 32 AD = Monday → FAILS (Monday is not preparation day)

    • Sliver Moon + Saturday Sabbath: Passover 32 AD = Tuesday → FAILS

    • Full Moon + Lunar Sabbath: Passover 14th = always 6th day (preparation) → PASSES

    • This test ELIMINATES Saturday Sabbath IF 32 AD is accepted as the crucifixion year

    • The Calendar Test

      "For all potential years using the traditional calendar there is not a single year with a Friday Passover..."

    Depends On

    Crucifixion 32 AD Very High Astronomical Stability Very High

    This validation test is why scholars avoid 32 AD despite overwhelming historical evidence pointing to it. Under Saturday Sabbath with any traditional month start, the 32 AD Passover falls on Monday or Tuesday - incompatible with the Gospel accounts. Only the lunar Sabbath system produces "preparation day" on every Passover.
