Many biblical scholars and historians estimate that Jesus of Nazareth was crucified by Roman authorities in Jerusalem on 7 April in the year AD 30, though some argue for a slightly later date such as 3 April, AD 33.
The execution, ordered by Roman governor Pontius Pilate, was carried out during the Jewish festival of Passover and became the central event of Christian theology.
The date is based on Gospel accounts, astronomical calculations, and historical context aligning with known Passover dates and Roman administrative records.
