Christ was 33!

So I have read my share of the Bible, but I sure as heck didn't know that he was 33 when he died. How did I find out?

Because my coworkers asked me how old I was this last birthday, and when I told them they smiled and said, "Oh just like Christ". It was so odd to hear them react this way...first associating my birthday with Christ, not to mention that it was specific to the age he died (a bit morbid I thought). Apparently it's a nice thing and people like to recognize it.
