There is a major debate over when Jesus died.
Some say Good Friday
Some say it was Wednesday
Some say it was Thursday
The only reason December 25th is called the day he was born is that day was stolen from the pagans!
There is evidence to support the idea that Jesus was never real but rather was a combination of other people who did live.
However facts don't matter to Christians. All they care about is the book they worship. Yes I know they will say they don't worship a book but I know the truth. They bow and scrape before an ancient book that is full of more holes then swiss cheese!

The exact date of Jesus' death is also unclear. Many scholars hold that the Gospel of John depicts the crucifixion just before the Passover festival on Friday 14 Nisan (called the Quartodeciman), whereas the synoptic gospels (except for Mark 14:2) describe Jesus' Last Supper, immediately before his arrest, as the Passover meal on Friday 15 Nisan; however, a number of scholars hold that the synoptic account is harmonious with the account in John.[11] Further, the Jews followed a lunisolar calendar with phases of the moon as dates, complicating calculations of any exact date in a solar calendar. According to John P. Meier's A Marginal Jew, allowing for the time of the procuratorship of Pontius Pilate and the dates of the Passover in those years, his death can be placed most probably on April 7, 30 AD/CE or April 3, 33 AD/CE.[12]

Christmas was actually celebrated on January 6th until King George of England changed the date. I believe some cultures (i.e. the Coptic Church in Ethiopia) still celebrate Christmas on different days (to the chagrin of Macy's). I personally believe Jesus was born sometime around Passover.
Easter is also a much debated date as well. It was the Sunday after the Jewish Passover. That date will change because the Jewish lunar calendar doesn't match up with our solar calendar. Also, there is a considerable debate on which year it was but it is known that is was the Sunday after Passover and to a first Century Jewish Christian that was more important than the actual date

No one knows exactly the precise date of Jesus born.
Not 25 december for sure, and you know that too.
but the date of Jesus death, can be calculated, because he said that we would arise 3 days after death, which was the easter day in Israel.
So if you could find out the day, you can know the date of Jesus death.

December 25th is not Christ's birthday. That is the day Christians have set aside to celebrate the birth of Christ.
The bible also does not give the date of the day Jesus was crucified or resurrected.

We have no idea when Christ was born. Scholars say sometime in October for the shepherds were still out at night. December 25th was what Emperor Constantine designated for X-mas (he turned the pagan celebration into a Christian one). However, the date of his death, is known. The last supper took place on 14th Nisan of the Jewish calender. So I would say the sixteenth or seventeenth of Nisan at sundown (where days actually started back then).

You know this date is also debatable but that is the day that the Christians celebrate Christ Birthday. His death according to the Bible is the Passover and that is on Friday, 6 April. Jesus Christ was crucified at the 9th hour which is 03h00 o'clock in the afternoon and it took His last words was "IT IS FINISHED" He was burred and rose on the 3rd day, that will be on Monday the 9th of April 2006. Does this answer es your question. Enjoy your weekend.

There are no records about the birth and death of Jesus. However there are many references from which approximate month can be calculated. But what is most interesting is to find out the year of birth. It can have a calculation error of twenty thirty years.

Jesus wasn't born on 25th December, Christianity has been jumbled up, during the pagan times, alot of their dates etc had been mixed with those of Christianity to convert pagans for eg: 25th December, Jesus's birth out of a virgin, round churches, Sunday was the Sabbath day of the pagans!!! I can't tell you for sure when he was born and when he died.........

Right...Christ's birth was commemorated on the 25 December.
His death is then observed and honoured on a Good Friday, followed by the Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
