Neco Model Questions Vol1 2023 Christian Religious Studies Question 30

The Book of Acts mentions that the Jerusalem Council met in the 15th year of Emperor Claudius' reign. Historical records indicate that Claudius began his reign in 41 AD. Additionally, the council's decree states that the decision was to be communicated to the churches after a period of 3 months and 12 days. If a letter was dispatched on the first day of the Jewish month of Tishri in the year the council met, determine the Gregorian calendar date (day and month) on which the letter would have arrived in Antioch, assuming the Jewish calendar month of Tishri in that year began on September 23 (Julian calendar) and that the Julian calendar was 2 days behind the Gregorian calendar at that time. Provide the final date in the Gregorian calendar (day‑month).
