Whitney Hendricks Reading #1

On Friday April 22, I was reading the DailyPress and came across an article called “Last Supper was not Jesus' last supper, researcher says”. I thought this was really interesting, especially being in the paper on the day Jesus was crucified. In the article a British researcher has concluded that “The Last Supper was probably the next-to-last supper of Jesus' life”. He has been using ancient calendars and astrological data to rethink Holy Week. A scientist explored Exodus and believes that the day Jesus gathered his disciples for the Last Supper was actually on a Wednesday not a Thursday. “The Last Supper was on Wednesday April 1, AD 33 and Jesus was crucified April 3, AD 33”. They exclaim that this resolves an apparent conflict with the Gospel accounts of Jesus' last days alive. There were many more details about all different types of calendars and confusion on when the actual date it. I think it is all really confusing with the many different types of calendars there are. Makes me think, how do they know the world is going to end in 2012, the same thing could have happened with the Mayan calendar that happened with the calender we went by for the Last Supper.
