This year also feels extraordinary for the Jewish and Assyrian communities of faith, as for the first time since 33 A.D., the Pesach Seder (Passover Dinner), which corresponds to the Last Supper in Catholic traditions, fell on the exact same day (Wednesday evening). 2026 marks the first such occurrence in the modern era under the calendars of both faiths, given there have been no instances of the full triple alignment (full moon + Pesach/15 Nisan beginning at sunset + Holy Thursday in the earlier Catholic sunset reckoning) on a Wednesday night since 33 A.D.

It's the third day following, not including today. That's how it's always been understood.
How could it be that the women bought spices after the Sabbath (Saturday), yet were able to show up at the tomb "while it was yet dark" early Sunday morning? I don't think they could have bought spices in the middle of the night.
The actual words of the Bible matter. Jesus said that the only proof that He was the Messiah was that He would be in the earth for three days and three nights, just the same as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights. It was stated as literal fact.
That fourth day you speak of is just a modern convention, mostly used to explain away the lie of the Catholic church about "Good Friday." They emphasize Jesus' death, not His Resurrection. The "third day" and "four days ago" didn't mean then what you think it means today. What matters is what the original Hebrew and Greek says, which the KJV is most accurate at translating.
