The death of Jesus Christ is traditionally believed to have occurred on Friday, April 3, 33 AD, at around 3:00 PM. He was "nailed to death" under the order of Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, following a series of trials by Jewish and Roman authorities. Jesus was condemned for claiming to be the "King of the Jews" and the Son of God, which was considered blasphemy by religious leaders and a political threat to Roman rule. He was beaten, mocked, and forced to walk to Golgotha, where he was nailed alongside two criminals. According to the Gospels, Jesus endured several hours of suffering before he cried out, "It is finished," and died.
At the moment of his death, the sky darkened, and an earthquake shook the land, tearing the temple veil in two—symbolizing the end of the old covenant and the beginning of a new one. His body was taken down before sunset and placed in a tomb belonging to Joseph of Arimathea, fulfilling biblical prophecy. Jesus' death is central to Christian belief, as it represents his sacrifice for the forgiveness of humanity's sins. Three days later, on Sunday, April 5, 33 AD, Christians believe he was resurrected, proving his divinity and victory over sin and death.
