Determining the Year of the Crucifixion of JesusRegarding the following Time Tables
* All dates corresponding to March and April are expressed using the Gregorian calendar that we
use today even though it was not in effect then.
* "New Moon" refers to the New Moon manifested in the period between 4 days before the Equinox and 24 days after.
* The theoretical Nisan means the one that takes place 14 days after the New Moon, if we count as "day one" the day following the New Moon.
* The "Difference 18AV - 14NS" means the days between the 18th day of Aviv and the 14th day of the theoretical Nisan. The alternative 1st of Aviv in Table 2 is the one which results when we delay by seven days the 1st of Aviv shown in Table 1 (for the days when the Equinox falls on Tuesday or a Wednesday)

We must keep in mind that, considering the limited scientific means at the time of the birth of
Jesus, the exact moment of the Equinox could not be ascertained with hour and minutes precision.
That is why we have considered an "alternative" 1st of Aviv which is reflected in Table 2 for some
of the years. This gives credibility to the possibility of an alternative Crucifixion date of 29
D.C.
