If Jesus died on Good Friday - why is it not same day every year?

Question

Jesus was born on Christmas day 25th Dec. ALways the 25th Dec. However he died on Good Friday, even if we do not know the date he died, the Friday allocated to Good Froday can be weeks different every year - why is this? Who decides when good friday is? If its the church, which person?

Answer 1

Jesus ( peace be upon him ) was not born in December. Christians just say that to celebrate their pagan holiday.

Answer 2

Christ was born in the flesh into the line of God's then chosen people. He was a Jew and the Jews held the Passover in Christ's time on their calendar month of Nisan, day 14 (which corresponds to April 2nd, 2007) This was the most Holy day of the year for Christ when he was on earth. This was the anniversary of the day the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Acts 3:13) Jehovah forced Pharaoh to finally free His people from slavery. Passover occurs on the full moon which is 14 days after the first new moon visible in Jerusalem following the vernal equinox. All throughout the Hebrew Scriptures (the old testament) a savior/messiah is prophesied to come right about the time Jesus (the son of God) was sent to earth by Jehovah (his Father). It was very significant that Jesus sacrificed his life for mankind on the Jewish Passover. He was the sacrificial Lamb of God, the final Passover sacrifice (1 Corinthians 5:8; Hebrews 9:19-10:4) As the mirror image of his Father Jehovah's qualities, he proved that Jehovah is fair, just and loving and could resurrect the dead, which He will do on Judgement Day (John 5:28, 29; Revelation 21:3)

So, each year on the 14th day after the first new moon following the vernal equinox every true Christian observes the *only* Holy day Jesus Christ directly asked us to observe (Luke 22:19) on the anniversary of same exact day he gave his life for us...
not xmas, not easter, not st. pattys day, not good friday, not st. valentines day, etc (do a Google search on the true origins of those "holidays") but the day on which the only-begotten son of "the only true God" Jehovah (John 17:3) gave his life for those of humankind who choose the Kingdom of his Father over human self-rule (Matthew 7:21-23)

Answer 4

1) Jesus did not die on "Good Friday" -- or any Friday, for that matter.

2) Jesus was not born on December 25, or Christmas day.

"Good Friday" is relative to Easter, which is a perversion of the Passover, which is when Christ died.

Since Passover is calculated according to the Hebrew Calendar and is on a fixed date -- the 14th of Nisan; when translated to the Gregorian calendar, it appears to move because the calendars use very different methods for tracking time.

After the original Apostles died, many people began to stray from the teachings of Christ and the Apostles. They ceased observing the Passover and started observing what they thought was the day of Christ's resurrection. But most were still calculating the date of that observance upon the date of Passover. Though the specific calculation for determining that date changed, it never broke fully from its Passover, and hence Hebrew calendar, roots.

Answer 5

Jesus died on the day of preparation Mark 15:42, Matthew 27:57-66, which would have been a Friday. Preparation day was the day before the Sabbath, Saturday.

Answer 6

Easter falls on the first Sunday subsequent to the first full moon after the vernal equinox (March 21). Thus, it can occur as early as March 22 and as late as April 25. (If the full moon after the equinox falls on Sunday, Easter follows a week later.)

Originally Easter was celebrated on the same day as the Jewish Passover. Since the Jewish calendar is lunar, Passover can fall on any day of the week, and some Church fathers were distressed that the Lenten fast should end on any day other than a Sunday. They argued about it until the 8th century, when the church officially adopted the procedure we have now.

Answer 7

Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. Easter is celebrated on Sunday so that people can go to church to celebrate together. This is why Good Friday or the day Jesus died is not a set date because we know that he arose on the third day.

Answer 8

It is thought that jesus was more than likely born in April time frame and the kings took months to get to him. (which makes total sense since he was 100s of miles away from jeruselum) but as tradition it's celebrated on the 25th of Decemeber.

Good friday always happens 3 days before easter day so it really depends on what day easter is.

Answer 9

because of the fact the scripture says that it grow to be preparation for a Sabbath, human beings have assumed He died on a Friday. The Sabbath being prepered for grow to be a "intense Day". It grow to be Passover. He died approximately an hour in the previous sunset on Wednesday and rose from the ineffective the comparable time Saturday. Joh 19:31 The Jews subsequently, because of the fact it grow to be the preparation, that the bodies shouldn't proceed to be upon the go on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day grow to be a intense day,) besought Pilate that their legs could desire to be broken, and that they could be taken away. Joh 19:32 Then got here the infantrymen, and broke the legs of the 1st, and of the different which grow to be crucified with him. Joh 19:33 yet while they got here to Jesus, and observed that he grow to be ineffective already, they broke no longer his legs: One could desire to understand that interior the Bible and to the Jews, an afternoon starts off at sunset.

Answer 10

Jesus was NOT born on December 25th. Easter was determined by the council of Nicea in 325 C.E., according to the Equinox.

Answer 11

for starters, December 25 isnt really Jesus' bday, its just the day we celebrate his birth on. As far as good friday goes, it and easter go by the church calander which has easter happening after the Xth full moon of the new year, which is why its at differant times every year
