“The Nephites adjusted their calendar so as to begin a new dating era with the birth of Jesus; and according to their chronology, the storms and the darkness and the crucifixion came to pass on the fourth day of the first month of the thirty-fourth year. (3 Ne. 8.) Then ‘in the ending’ of that year (3 Ne. 10:18–19), several months after the Ascension on Olivet, Jesus ministered personally among the Nephites for many hours on many days” (McConkie, Mortal Messiah, 4:306–7).
