You sound like an atheist. There is a very good reason these dates coincide. God knows what He is doing.Did you know Jesus died on Passover? (According to Mark)
Did you know Passover was set to commemorate the final plague that eventually led to the release of the enslaved Jews in Egypt?
How interesting that the same "saving" act of both moses bringing forth the final plague and Jesus dying end up being tied together?
Sounds like a literary work with symbolism and drama to me.....
The scripture in Mark, they are just referencing the first day of the feast. There is no way the feast day was already there. Jews had a tendency to call the whole week Passover. The Lambs were slain on the preparation day before the high day (first day of unleavened).Not to mention that both mark and john disagree on the time and day that Jesus died....
Mark says he died on the day of preparation for Passover, the day the lambs were taken to the priests to be slain...
Yet another interesting literary performance....
So which is it?
Christ was crucified on preparation day according to John 19:14, which was on a Wednesday. Get off your RCC timetable and learn the truth.
