What are the historical dates of the birth and death of Jesus Christ?
Note: Please don't change the question from birth to death and make our answers irreverent.
Note: Why not just reffer to the answers already answerd as this question is already on here in both forms as it has been asked already.

Well, there are several schools of thought...
If Jesus was born in 5 BC (The Bible Almanac, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1980) and if He died about at 33 years of age, that would fix his death around 29 AD. And this was on a Wednesday and buried before 6:00 PM that day.
Ref : http://www.bible-truth.or
Christ’s crucifixion took place on Passover day, the 14th of Abib (or Nisan), the first month in God’s Sacred Calendar. This occurred in the year A.D. 31, in which Passover fell on a Wednesday. Many fail to consider the prophecy that the Messiah would be “cut off…in the midst of the week” (Dan. 9:26-27). Wednesday falls in the middle of the week—the very day upon which Passover fell in A.D. 31. According to the Roman calendar, this date was Wednesday, April 25.

Jesus died on Thursday at about 3:00 p.m. (at “twilight,” halfway between the minor evening oblation from noon to 3:00 p.m. and the major evening oblation from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.).

The geological survey, published in the International Geology Review, suggests that Christ was crucified on Friday, April 3, in the year 33.

And this study gives the time of Jesus' death to a very specific point in history: around 3:00 p.m on Friday, April 3, A.D. 33.

The latter two in agreement with Sun Wukongs post...
I'll even give you what the atheist think...
The truth is we don’t know when Jesus died.
Ref : http://www.patheos.com/bl
(Compaire their sight with the evidence presented in the others)
So I've presented you with the days debated and some sights to go review...IMO as its not a heaven or hell issue when, I feel safe in letting you research and reason your own answer by doing your own study...
But the fact that he did ...is a truth that will set you free...

Well, from the story about john, which i will omit except to say that the birth of John the Baptist, has been traditionally celebrated June 24.
Since Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth just after the incarnation, (and Elizabeth was 6 months pregnant at this time), we can then see that John is 6 months
older then Jesus, so, June 24th,1 July 24th,2 August 24th,3 September 24th,4 October 24th,5 November 24th,6 December 24th.
Roughly put, that places him within the traditional 12 day Christmas celebration.
My point with this post is that the early Christians were able to reconstruct this, and pick a date which generally reflected the truth. It is really just a approximation, not a definitive answer, of course Jesus could have been early, or later, so could john, but for the day in which no birth certificates were issues, this is actually very good evidence for a December, or perhaps January birth.

If he was born at all, the season would have been spring, summer or fall (going by Luke) and the year somewhere between 7 and 2 B.C. our reckoning.
edit: with question having been changed now (death rather than birth and death),
disregards answer.
Puzzling why a new question can't be started rather than putting given answers totally out of context by edit.

Unknown, because none of the Gospels are reliable, and there are no independent records from the extensive Roman and Greek writing that survive from the era.
If there were accurate records of his birth, we might guess at his birth, assuming we trust the tradition that he was 33 when executed.
Two of the Gospels give mutually contradictory stories about his birth: either his parents lived in Nazareth but went to Bethlehem for a census, or they lived in Bethlehem, fled to Egypt and later settled in Nazareth. These re two ways to justify him having come from Nazareth when the Messiah was supposed to be born Bethlehem.
Only one of these stories has him laid in a manger and visited by shepherds. The other has no manger but has a star and visiting wise men from the east.
The other two Gospels wholly ignore the birth of Jesus. Good reason to believe that no one actually knew. That he was born in ordinary circumstances in Nazareth and the rest was made up later.

33 AD is what is believed by most historians, his physical death. Other historians point to information the Vatican supposedly suppressed that Jesus spent time with his then wife after the resurrection in India, with Mary Magdalene. As the story goes, he was granted the ability to come back and live out a quiet life with her, since the all-male Disciples rejected her leadership position with them. After all, she was a woman and should be quiet and be her husband's sex slave, nothing more. (This was the normal, accepted view of the time...
This is why Muslims feel he did not "die" on the cross...Even Christians believe he is reported to have come back immediately after the crucifixion and was seen by many people who were capable of seeing him.
