44 The Crucifixion Was Not on Fridaywe can loca te the Passover on which J esus was crucified.We must now recall how much the Julian Calendar gainson the Hebrew Calendar in each 19-year cycle. The figure was1 hour, 26 minutes and 56% seconds. You have already provedthat that is how much longer 19 Julian years are than a 19-year cycle of the Sacred Calendar.How many 19-year cycles elapsed between 31 A.D. and1931? The answer is exactly 100. Let's multiply this figureby 100:1hX100144h26mX10054 m(144h = 6 days)56%sX10026%sThis means that the Julian Calendar gains this much onthe Hebrew Calendar in those 1900 years. Now add this differenceto the date of the new moon which determined the seventhmonth in 1931:Sat., Aug. 30+6d10h+Oh13m+54m46%s+26%sSept. 5llh8m131hs(This answer has the seconds changed into minutes, andminutes into hours.)This is the exact time of a new moon in 31 A.D., 11 hours,8 minutes and 131h seconds after midnight on September 5.But is this new moon the one which determined the seventhmonth in 31 A.D.? No. Here's why:The year 1931 was the 10th year of a cycle. Hence it didnot have a thirteenth month. The year 31 A.D. was also the10th year of a cycle- because it was exactly 100 cycles earlier!But we find that befare 142 A.D., the years in which a thirteenthmonth was added occurred one year earlier in each cycle.See the Jewish Encyclopedia, article "Calendar," page 500, andGraetz's History of the Jews, Vol. 2, pp. 433, 443-444, regard-
