Jesus clearly taught that similar to the Prophet Jonah, following His Crucifixion, He would lay dead in the sepulchre for a period of exactly three days and three nights. Based on Roman Catholic tradition, modern Catholics and other Christians celebrate this period from the evening of “Good Friday” to early “Easter Sunday” morning. This is not three days and three nights as Jesus stated. It is only two nights — Friday night and Saturday night — and only Friday evening, all day Saturday and early Sunday morning in the grave. Thus, it is not three days either. The inescapable conclusion is that tradition is dead wrong, yet millions of Christians blindly observe it every single year.
“For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”

“Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.”
Matthew 27:62-66, KJV
