    Crucifixion under Pontius Pilate is among the most secure facts about the historical Jesus. Astronomical-calendar reconstructions leave Friday 7 April AD 30 and Friday 3 April AD 33 as the two principal feasible dates. The date 7 April AD 30 is one of two principal astronomical candidates; 3 April AD 33 is the major alternative. The exact location of Golgotha is historically debated; the coordinate uses the traditional Holy Sepulchre site.
