The purpose of this work, ‘The Day that Christ Died’, is to acquaint readers with the basic events of that day, which culminated in the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ. Two questions in particular will be addressed. First of all, how can the presence of Christ on that central cross be accounted for? Secondly, what is the abiding spiritual significance of Christ’s death for mankind, even to the present day?

These questions will be answered as the events of the day unfold, and through the interaction of Christ with various individuals and groups.
