When reading about this event in the Gospels, it is important to remember that in Israel days start and end at sunset. Also, from the hints given in The Bible, many biblical students are now convinced that this event occurred in 31 A.D.. In 31 AD then, the Passover death of Jesus occurred during the daylight portion (Hebrew days begin and end at sunset) of Wednesday, April 25, 31 AD: see timeline below:
Last Supper - Passover night, 25 April 31 AD, 4th Passover as Sir Isaac newton first postulated
Crucifixion - Passover day 25 April 31 AD, just before sunset and start of High Annual Sabbath of the Feast of Unleavened Bread
Resurrection - Saturday Sabbath, 28 April 31 AD, just before sunset and start of first day - Sunday. Jesus ascends to the Father as the 'wave sheaf' offering for mankinds' sins
Ascension - Thursday, 10 June 31 AD or 40 days after the Resurrection awaiting Holy Spirit
NT Church - Pentecost Sunday (50 days after resurrection Saturday), 17 Jun 31 AD and release of God's Holy Spirit to all He chooses (see John 6:44; 65).
The synoptic gospels say that Jesus died on the day of the Jewish Passover, a Friday.
John's Gospel says that Jesus died on the day before the Jewish Passover, which it says occurred on a Saturday in the year of the crucifixion.
Jesus died during the Jewish festival of Passover. This festival commemorates the Israelites' liberation from slavery in Egypt, and Jesus' death occurred during this time.
The three great Jewish festivals were then and are now Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (Pentecost, or the Feast of Weeks) and Succot (the Feast of Booths). Each of these is mandated in the festival calendars in the Torah, and on these festivals, when the Temple still stood in Jerusalem, all Jews were supposed to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. We also know that Hanukkah was celebrated. It is even mentioned in the New Testament as the Feast of Dedication. That one is a post-biblical holiday instituted less than 200 years before Jesus. Note that Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur were also celebrated, but neither is technically a festival. (The three pilgrimage festivals were all harvest festivals, Passover and Shavuot celebrated winter and spring grain harvests, Succot celebrated the olive and grape harvests.)

Yes, the crucifixion of Jesus is a historical event, although the details are obviously boggled around with religious ideas, so separating hard fact from religious testament is difficult.

Tried to stay objective here. Hopedit helped.
