Re: Serious subjects
When it comes to solar, here is the nearest I can find to any Passover of 33 AD.
NASA - Total Solar Eclipse of 29 November 24
At November 24, 29 AD it is off by four years, off by 9 months, off by around 300km. Still interestingly close, provided no declaration of personal infallibility and/or absolute literalism in Biblical interpretation.
{Personal note: although this thread is from Calypsis 4 and I stated I would not engage in any thread in which he/she/it was involved, I hereby revise such a declaration as premature when concerning statements that may add to the debate when concerning possibly overlooked matters of fact and if addressed to other members. As to Calypsis 4 or any other poop-flingers, I'm sure other more interested parties can handle that better than I am prepared to do as I am tired of making my contributions to this forum too negative for my personal taste.}

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.
Salman Rushdie
This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. - the character Rorschach in Watchmen
