Left is a fresco of the Holy Ghost in the Karlskirche, Viennese Church of St. Charles, the last great work of the Baroque architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. Completed in 1739, it was built when Emperor Charles VI made a vow during a plague. The church is dedicated to the Habsburg emperor’s namesake, St. Karl Borromäus (St. Charles Borromeo), whose life and works are depicted on the two giant columns next to the entrance portal. The lavish dome frescoes are by Johannes Michael Rottmayr and cover 1,250 m². Multiply the area value by 10.764, and the result is approximately 13,455 square feet.

Because it's so easy for me, I am going surely to look it up (maybe around Whitsun, that would be the perfect timing) 🕊️...

Joe: I got my dates from Jimmy Akin, theologian with Catholic Answers. He stated that his research fixes the crucifixion on April 3, AD 33. That would place the date as Pentecost 2033. I tried to find Akin's answer months later and could not. I got tired of looking, but I heard what I heard. Every other source argues for a different year, but traditionally the year was 33. Modernists try to gum it up.
