With Easter and Good Friday right around the corner - you should
question how one gets 3 days and 3 nights out of 1 1/2 days!!! With
all the Easter Eggs and Bunnies - one should also question how all
that happened! Could it be Pagan????

THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY GOOD SITE. I have no idea what religion this is.
Did Christ Die on Friday?
Some Christians believe that Christ died on a Friday because the next
day after His crucifixion was a Sabbath. But this Sabbath was not a
weekly Sabbath, it was an annual Sabbath. See Jewish Holy Days.
The problem with the "Friday burial hypothesis" is that the length of
time from Friday evening to Sunday morning is not 72 hours (3 days
and 3 nights); it is only 1 1/2 days.
Jesus on the road to Calvary
There are not 3 full nights, but only one night -- Saturday--, and
part of another night -- "Friday". There are not 3 full days, but
only one day --Saturday; and we cannot count any daylight hours of
Sunday because Yeshua/Jesus was already resurrected before daybreak
of Sunday.
John 20:1 "To the first of Sabbaths Mary Magdalene came to the
memorial tomb early, while there was STILL DARKNESS, and she beheld
the stone already taken away from the memorial tomb."
So we can not count any daylight hours of Sunday, and we cannot count
any daylight hours of "Friday" either because Christ's burial
FINISHED in the predawn hours of Nisan 15 -- the day after His
crucifixion.
If you are wondering why the text says "First of Sabbaths" instead of
"First day of the week," read both: Two Sabbaths and The
Resurrection.
We need to have exactly 3 days and 3 nights between Yeshua's BURIAL
and His RESURRECTION, because Jesus said that He would be buried "in
the heart of the Earth" for 3 days and 3 nights.
Matthew 12:40 "..the Son of man will be in the heart of the earth
three days and three nights."
This is the sign of Jonah, the only sign Yeshua/Jesus gave to identify
Him as the true messiah.
