Where is the source for this claim? Does anyone know? This claim was made by a Christian website that prefers to beleive that Jesus was crucified on a Friday and not on a Thursday. I am not saying it is wrong or right I just wanted to know where I can find some source for this claim. References are quite often lacking at such sights but I would like to use this claim in an argument I am constructing.

Any help?
