out that this really means that the

Friday. and according to st. John the
day was the 14th of the month Nisan.

other evangelists Christ had already
partaken of the Passover meal and
was crucified on the first day OF the
passover-that Is. the 10Th of the
month Nissan. The year Is nowhere
mentioned, but 1t was during tie gov.

fell on Friday twice-nameiy, accord
