3 days and 3 nights?

I'm confused. If Jesus said the only sign he will give is three days and three nights, where do we get the idea that he died on a friday and rose on a sunday? "Good Friday" "Easter Sunday"
Thank you.

Do a search of the forum. This topic has been beaten to death here.

Short answer - Rome

Ok.

It comes from the "early church" when Catholicism was being developed. Early on, the "early church" tried to completely distance themselves from Judaism, and actually became anti-Semitic. Thus, all the treasures of Judaism were "lost" (like the lunar calendar and the deep meanings of the 7 Feasts).

Wednesday was Passover, next day was Unleavened Bread, then Saturday was Sabbath and Firstfruits. Remember, "evening and morning" was the reckoning of "days".

Thank you! I just wondered if I was really missing something. I had to learn a little about feasts and sabbath - which I honestly don't understand why we do not keep those - because they are mentioned several times during the events surrounding Christ's death, and it seems to me that there was a high sabbath they prepared for and the regular sabbath they prepared for. That would make it 3 days and 3 nights just like Christ said.

I got cut off in my reply.
I have not had time to search the forums yet - I am on my phone and these forums are so filled with advertisements that it makes it hard to navigate on my phone. I'll have to wait until I can get to a computer.
Thanks again!

We don't celebrate the feast because of the Seven Christ & the Holy Spirit fulfilled 4. Christ came as the Passover lamb, there is now no need to offer up a lamb for slaughter.

The 3 "Spring Feasts" were fulfilled at Jesus' first coming + Pentecost was fulfilled with the giving of the Holy Spirit. The 3 "Fall Feasts" are yet future, refer to Christ's Second Coming and are PROPHETIC. A careful study will reveal some astonishing things about the FUTURE.
