Passover ( April 1st/2nd ) and Easter ( April 5th ) and my Birthday ( the 2nd ) are all aligned this year ( 2026 ).
And it made me wonder if it was possible to have 3 Sabbath Days in a Row.
The first day of Passover ( a Sabbath day observance) starts at sundown on Wednesday, April 1st ( through Thursday the 2nd).
And then
At sundown, on Thursday, the first day of Unleavened Bread (which is also an observed Sabbath day)
begins at sunset and continues through Friday the 3rd.
Now 2 days of "Sabbaths" have occurred,
And we come to Sundown on Friday, the 3rd of April, as the weekly Sabbath,
that lasts through Saturday the 4th at sundown.
And it officially ends when 3 stars are "visible" after the sunset that evening.
( or so I've read ).
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
3 sabbath days in a row?
That is why I've "considered" that Wednesday was a "possible" day for the Crucifixion.
I welcome any feedback you have to offer.
I know I may be overlooking some key facts,
or lack a full understanding.
* I can "see" the Thursday crucifixion working,
If the tradition that "a part of a day" is counted ( or could be counted ) as "a day" applies to the Hebrew's understanding of the word "day."
The only day we are SURE of is Sunday,
the first day of the week (which technically started Saturday night by our reckoning).
The tomb was empty and Jesus had risen from the dead as promised / foretold.
And this year it would be April 4th ( sundown ) through April 5th,
With the Feast of First Fruits,
and
The traditional Easter Sunday
( Feast / Sabbaths all align with Resurrection Day ).
Jewish calendar reference for this week in 2026,
From:
Saved by Grace,
Andrew Cross
"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some,
but exhorting one another,
and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:23-25
