He died and was resurrected on Easter, 33 years after his birth.

Jesus wasn't born on Christmas according to historians. He did not resurrect on Easter. Those are just days to 'celebrate' it. I don't.
He was on the Earth for 33 and 1/2 yrs.

Actually he was born in the month that would have translated to October on the modern calendar. Moving his birthday to december 25th was more or less a marketing decision to make Christianity more palatable to the Pagans. They took the date of the already existing Pagan holiday of Sol Invictus, The Birth of The Immortal Sun.

Jesus was not born on xmas. he died on Nisan 14 the last supper or passover. he was 33 1/2 years old, count six months forward and it comes to Oct. so Jesus was born in Oct. not DEC. Jesus also said to celebrate his death not his birth. he died for our sins. Jesus died in April he was not born in April

He was on the earth for about 33 years. He did more than just be born and then die. Those are just the days we celebrate/honor those parts of His life

It's unclear exactly when Jesus was born, but he died about 30 years after his birth, not several months.

the dates of Christmas and easter were irrelevant to Jesus
they were pagan hollidays and Christianity to make the transition from Paganism to their enforced Christianity more simple stole the Pagan holidays and anounced that they were now Christian religious events.
they also built their churches on temples ground that they had destroyed ,so that the people still came to the sacred grounds.

There's a 33 year gap, and he wasn't actually born on the equivalent of December 25th. I believe it was actually calculated to be sometime in March.
