NewsNation has announced plans for an Easter Special helmed by network host Chris Cuomo.
The Mystery of Easter is set to broadcast on Saturday, April 4th at 8 PM ET. The show features Cuomo in Israel as he attempts to find out concrete answers to what happened to Jesus Christ following his crucifixion.
Included in the special is Chris Cuomo speaking with biblical scholar and author Michael Licona. Part of the discussion hinges on the theory that Christ was not given a formal burial.
“In antiquity, you’re correct, that the Romans typically did not allow a crucified or condemned person who had been executed by them to receive a proper burial,” Lincona said of the theory. “But the Romans, in order to keep peace with people they had conquered, would often allow them to maintain some of their customs. And we have evidence that they did this in Jerusalem.”
An encore presentation of the NewsNation special featuring Chris Cuomo will air on Easter Sunday at 12 PM ET.
