Matthew 28:1
Says after a sabbath, or, you might read it as after 'the sabbath', they go to the tomb, and find it empty. However, this occurs at dawn, not the evening.
Even if you observe the Saturday, Sabbat, then the verse has a inference to this occurence, being at dawn, not evening.
This means three days has to include Thursday, counting back, from 'after the Sabbath', that is, if one is presuming this to mean after the Saturday Sabbath.
So, basically three days would have to include Thursday, [probably starting in the morning, or very close to the morning.

The christians may have had a different Shabbat, either Saturday reckoned by solar timing, or, Sunday reckoned by solar timing, or two shabbats, since there is inference to 'Lords day', this being a deific reference, then it would seem to call it a day of rest, or a 'shabbat'.
The Essenes if using a solar calendar, would naturally have been calling 'after the Sabbath', at dawn, regardless, which day was meant, [if that is what is inferenced in this verse, ie sunday, 'after the saturday Sabbath'.
Since three days needs to be counted, regardless, then Thursday must be counted, unless the verse is referring to a 'Sunday Sabbath'.
