While we are on this topic of historic dates and times, in what year was Jesus crucified? Please click here for information about when Jesus died for our sins and rose for our salvation. However, there is something even more important than finding out information about when Jesus was born and died. For Catholic Christians, the real question is whether we have died to sin and risen to new life in Christ through the sacraments of our faith.
