Because it was the Last Thursday BCE.

    Fun fact: it’s actually called “Maundy Thursday.” No, I don’t know what that means without looking it up.

    A misconception that seems to be surprisingly common.

    BCE refers to before the guy’s supposed birth. Easter is about his death, in around 33 CE, and has nothing to do with how we count years.

    This makes zero sense.

    Jesus is estimated to have been born between 6 BCE to 4 BCE and estimated to have died in either 30 CE or 33 CE.

    So the first Good Friday would have been in 30 CE or 33 CE.

    The last Holy Thursday BCE technically doesn’t exist because it wouldn’t be a thing until at least 30 years later.

    Moreover, the last Thursday BCE would be in December of 1 BCE when Jesus was a child because the switch from BCE to CE happened when the year switched.
