Rather than dying on “Good Friday,” or Friday the 13th, Christ actually died on a Wednesday, the Passover.

We do know that he was killed before the sabbath approached. We know that the sabbath was the 7th day which started from Friday evening to Saturday evening. So we know he was being killed Friday morning.
