NGC Sets Easter Quest for Truth

National Geographic Channel will air world-premiere special Quest for Truth: The Crucifixion on Easter Sunday, March 27 at 9 p.m. (EST/PST), the network said Thursday.

The special will examine the facts using historical evidence and scientific experiments to learn more about Jesus' crucifixion and death.

Dr. Frederick Zugibe -- a pathologist and medical examiner who has studied the crucifixion for more than 50 years and who built the only medical lab in the world that contains a crucifix -- will also appear during the special.
