Spring Phenomena, 25 BCE to 38 CE |
The first table below gives the Julian calendar dates and Greenwich times of the astronomical vernal equinox for the years
25 BCE to 38 CE inclusive. The second table gives, for these years, the Julian calendar dates and Greenwich times of the astronomical
Full Moons which occurred on or after the date of the equinox, and the dates and times of the astronomical New Moons on or
preceding, and after, the date of the equinox. The days of the week are given for the equinoxes and the Full Moons, from which
the days of the week may readily be found for the New Moons.
The times given in the tables are accurate to within two or three hours for 25 to 5 BCE, and one or two hours for 4 BCE
to 38 CE. Red enteries added by the author of this study.

Added:
The years AD 3, 7, 10, 23, 30 and 37 was the only years that the Passover Lamb was killed on a Friday. The question now is,
who are you going to believe, the Sunday Catholic and Advent Church that Christ was killed on a Fri., or are you going to
believe the Bible and the "Astronomical Applications Department"? In the year 37 AD, Christ would have been over 40 years
of age.
