(Lev 23:3) Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
(Lev 23:4) These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
(Lev 23:5) In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S passover.
(Lev 23:6) And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
(Lev 23:7) In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
(Lev 23:8) But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
The actual Passover lamb is killed at evening on the 14th of Nissan. The meal was eaten after sunset. This was the 1st day of Unleavened bread. This first day was considered a Holy Convocation or an "high day" (a Sabbath), as well as the seventh day. This is in addition to the weekly 7th day Sabbath.
(Joh 19:31) The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
Jesus was crucified on the Hebrew 4th day of the week, placed in the tomb just at sunset. Spent 3 days and 3 nights in the tomb and was raised just at sunset in the end of the Sabbath (7th day). This keeps in line with the importance of the Sabbath Day of creation and the 10 commandments. GOD CHANGES NOT
