It is a reference to the three days Jesus was in the family "grave", a cave with the family members who had died and been prepared with herbs, spices and other fluids to protect the body. The three days had been prophesied in the book of Jonah (similar to the three days in the Belly of The Whale) and Jesus himself made the prophecy (and promise) that he would rise from the dead after he was killed.
