Astrologers claim that a bright star was just over Bethlehem on December 25th in the year 2 BC; they also claim that a lunar eclipse happened on Passover in the year 31 AD on April 30, 31. Given that there was a reference to lunar eclipse in the Bible at the day of Christ's crucification, and given that we know that he died on Passover weekend, we then can in fact calculate Jesus Christ's age, 33. Just imagine this symbolic impact of his rise and fall mirrored in the stars. The Son of God was born on a day when the night was full of light, while when he died the light in the sky was literally eclipsed.
I remember once someone saying to me that 33 is Jesus Christ's number. Well, it looks like 33 was Jesus' age when he died. But there is even more symbolism to the story. Jesus spiritual message stands for people of good intentions meeting and the Holy Spirit prevailing in this encounter. It is as if your holy trinity meets my holy trinity when we meet and Jesus is in the midst. As it is written in the New Testament, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them."
