Jesus clearly said He would be in the heart of the Earth for 3 days and 3 nights. Matthew 12:40.
During that time He preached to the Spirits in Hell or prison. He did this so that all before and after His 1st advent on Earth would have the opportunity of following Him. 1 Peter 3:18-19.
He had His symbolic meal, establishing the New Covenant on the 14th of the first month (Abib or Nisan). The meal happened after sunset which is the start of the 14th day.
He prayed, was betrayed, arrested, tried, was beaten, crucified and buried all on the 14th which was Biblically (old testemant) the Passover and preperation day.
At sunset began the 15th; in Jesus' time as is today traditionally called Passover or Unleavend bread, but Biblically Passover was the previous day.
After Babylonian captivity Jews combined the two days and the gospels record as such. Any Jewish calender too confirms that the Jews in Jesus day and today have Passover on the 15th. Exodus 12 confirms the 14th.
At sunset the 15th Jesus was already buried. This was a Sabbath or Holy day but not the 7th day Sabbath. It was a Wednesday night, Thursday day. It was biblically the 1st of Unleavened bread, traditionally then as now Passover as well.
Jesus was in the grave Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights; and Thursday, Friday, Saturday days. Some time on the first day beginning Saturday night at sundown and before dawn on Sunday morning (all the 1st day) Jesus was resurrected. When Mary arrived at sunrise He was already up.
Those 3 days and nights Jesus preached as Peter records to those in the grave. What their condition was or how He did what He did GOD knows, but it is what Holy Spirit records and what was done.
Jesus had to be in the grave 3 days and 3 nights in order to fulfill Scriptural and His own prophecy.

Passover 2012
Biblical Passover.
Old testament...
On the night of the 14th, that is the date for the biblical Passover meal, after
sunset, Exodus 12:6 & 8.
Passover is though not a "Holy day" or a Sabbath though there is a command to
remember and observe.
The following day... the 1st of unleavened bread is the Holy day, a Sabbath.
The "Passover" (14th, starting at sunset to the next sunset) is the day of
preperation.
The Passover was a working day, the day of preperation. The ancient Israelites
had work to do this day and they would be fleeing Egypt on this day.
Again consider... the day of preperation is not a Friday it is the Passover
itself.
The 1st day of unleavened bread (the 15th) was a rest, a Holy day, a Sabbath.
What is recorded in the New Testament deviates from the old regarding Passover.
How so? The Jews some time after returning from Babylon combined Passover with
the 1st day of unleavened bread. Calling it either Passover or Unleavened bread.
Passover was not then in Jesus day nor is it today in Judaism celebrated on the
14th as GOD commanded.
The combination of the two making Passover a Holy day or Sabbath celebrated on
the 15th.
This is how it is recorded in the Gospel accounts.
Today as in Jesus day the observance of the Passover meal is on the 15th (not
the biblically commanded 14th). When Jesus had the Last Supper, it was on the
proper day for the biblical Passover.
Compare Leviticus 23:5 & 6, Exodus 12:6 & 8 with any modern Jewish calender.
Yet Jesus although not having a biblical Passover meal (no lamb...He is the
lamb)... He did celebrate on the correct night. His Jewish brethern then and
today celebrate 1 night late.
Jews then did not then eat the lamb on the 14th as commanded but the 15th see
Exodus 12:6 & 8.
Jesus our Passover (Salvation) was slaughtered the same time as the Passover
lambs. And even though the "traditional" celebration is not entirely biblical
Jesus did fullfil the Scripture as to being slaughtered at the proper time... on
the 14th between the evenings, Exodus 12:6.
This fulfills Jesus Words that He would be in the heart of the Earth 3 days and
3 nights. Day starting at sunset.
