Let's learn some facts about the crucifixion of Jesus

BY A STAFF REPORTER: According to the Christian scriptures, the Bible, he returned three days after the crucifixion. The Son of God died painfully on the cross before He ascended into heaven. He died for our sins.

According to the New Testament, Jesus was crucified at a place called Golgotha, which was just outside of Jerusalem, Israel. In Aramaic, the language of Judea, Golgotha is translated as 'place of skulls' because the location resembles a skull-shaped mountain. Historical experts believe that Christ was crucified on Friday, April 3rd, 33 AD. According to the Gospels, Jesus died around 3pm after spending six hours nailed to the cross. The scriptures say that when Jesus breathed his last, the earth shook with an earthquake.

But according to geologist Jefferson Williams, the earthquake occurred around the date of Jesus' death. Although it is impossible to say whether or not the earthquake occurred at the time of Jesus' death, it is a historical fact that seismic activity occurred in the region at that time.
