That if you follow your own bible, you'll see that the day would be somewhere in the middle of the summer, not in the beginning of spring...

I agree with 'primoa', and on the calender it's not the right time of the year for Jesus' birthday either. Do you actually think that God is mad???????
I believe His heart is so big and and full of joy to know that we His creation are loving on Him, and honoring Him this weekend. We are having a big praise celebration tonight, tomorrow a dinner on the ground and Sunday am an awesome play with the choir.
Come on, CELEBRATE...OUR SAVIOR HAS RISEN. Rejoice and be glad in Him. In vite folks to church for Sunday!!!
I believe this is the beginning of the body of Christ is going to return to our Heavenly Father and great manifestations are going to happen. If you are busy with petty concerns you will miss the heart of the Father.
God bless you and a Happy Resurection weekend to you<><

From the Jewish Calendar that day in 33 C.E. The passover was a celebration held once a year,on the 14th day of Jewish month Nisan. This year that day would fall on April 2, after sundown.That's just like you had an anniversary it wouldn't be on a Friday every year it would change. but the same date,(number)

Jesus died on Nisan 14 of the Jewish Calender,
This year this equates to April 2.

So, Passover is in the summer? Easter is always a few days after Passover since the Last Supper was a Passover meal. Are you contending that the Jews and the early church got together and changed to fit in with Pagan celebration? I can see the early church doing that, but I don't see them involving the Jews.

Jesus died on Nisan 14(Jewish Calendar)...approximately March 31 (+ or - 1/2 days) in our calendar, count me in! But it isnt summer here in Europe...still spring. It sometimes coincide with the celebration of easter/ spring equinox (which i dont celebrate).

He died on Nisan 14, according to the Jewish calendar. That began at sundown this past Monday, April 2.

Jesus died on Nisan 14 which corresponds to April 2nd, 2007 on our calender today. We celebrate Nisan 14 every year as he told us to do but every year the day changes on our calender because it is based on the spring equinox.

Sorry, my friend. Jesus went into the city to celebrate the Passover. Which is now.
It is true however that He wasn't crucified today as the day of Crucifixion and the day of resurrection floats just like your birthday.

It doesn't really make any difference...Christmas is not the time the Christ was born either. He was most likely born in the spring..we know this because the shepherds were in the fields at night watching their flock. They only did this during the lambing season...which would have been probably April. Also...very fitting that the lamb of God was born during the lambing season...but anyway, you are correct but as far as I know, no one really cares.
The celebration is not about the actual day on the calendar but the event that took place...the resurrection should be celebrated every day.

According to my calculations, and if I remember correctly, Jesus died according to our calendar on April 1, 33. I have seen the same date affirmed by others.
This is calculable and verifiable.
