PART 3-----ITEM H-----The Day of the Week He was crucified-----Quote by Herbert W. Armstrong:

Quote: From the Autobiography of Herbert W. Armstrong (hard copy, 1986, volume 1, page 339)

"The crucifixion was on Wednesday. The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead was late Sabbath afternoon, prior to sunset [even]. This is proved conclusively, not only by all the scriptures on the subject, which are many, but also by astronomy, and by the Hebrew calendar. In the year in which Jesus was crucified-AD 31-the Passover was on a Wednesday, not a Friday."
