Changed the quiz. Although, he did also doubt the wounds!

Same here... Could only remember his name in Latin. Should be accepted IMO. Greek also, which is almost the same.

@katiclement You are very right. He only believed when he saw his wounds and stuck his hands in them. He would not believe until he saw. Anyway, 14/16 just missed Shrove Tuesday.

The spelling issue on Pilate will cause the same problem people keep having with "Pittsburg" with the next answer being wrong because of the h being in front of it

As I type this even the spell checker is telling me Pittsburg is spelled wrong as it is with Pilat.

Thanks for this, because I forgot Calvary, but then I saw it and it reminded me that in Pawn Stars (and probably other programs too if it comes up) when they look at merchandise to do with the US Cavalry, Rick keeps calling it Calvary stuff (like Calvary boots or a Calvary rifle). Makes me wince every time!

I would bet that the majority of Americans are at least as familiar with the French term - Mardi Gras - as they are with the English term, Fat Tuesday.

And the majority of New Zealanders, including me, have never heard of 'fat tuesday' It's called 'Shrove Tuesday' here.

You visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, or the 'alternative location', the garden outside of the Old City? I'd personally recommend anyone going to Jerusalem to visit that last one as well. It's a lovely place, and there's a genuine 1st century grave. It might well not have been *the* place where it happened, but it's a great impression of how a grave from that era looked, without a complete church built around it.

it's hard keeping track of all the different conflicting (likely all equally wrong) alleged sites of events in the Jesus myth. I wasn't aware of the Garden Tomb until you mentioned it, though looking at its location on Google Maps I see that it's right next to the Falafel King where I ate several times. I visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre multiple times, and also the alleged tomb of the virgin Mary and other burial sites. Including the "Tomb of King David" which we know was actually the tomb of some wealthy Roman woman.

Not entirely sure just Mary should be acceptable for Mary Magdelene since "Mary" always refers to a different individual in the Bible.

There were actually several Marys in the gospels and two that had gone to the tomb on the third day. Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James and Salome (Gospel of Mark) had all gone to the tomb.

What translation are you using on the third-last one? I've always heard "why have you abandoned me?" Seems like that should be accepted.
