Keep your eyes focused on JESUS as Holy Week progresses.
There is much discussion about the timing of the resurrection of Christ, but it follows the Hebrew calendar perfectly.
The Hebrew calendar starts its days from sundown to sundown, making its timing far different than the Gregorian calendar that we follow.
The sacrifice of the Passover lambs needed to be completed before sundown on Nisan 14 (which is Wednesday on the Hebrew calendar this year).
The Messiah was nailed to the cross, suffered, died and was buried before sundown at the beginning of Nisan 14.
He remained in the grave until sometime after sundown, the beginning of Nissan 17 and the dawn of the first day of the week.
