Good Friday! for more information - Thursday (the day before good Friday is the Last Supper the disciples have with Jesus. This day is also when Judas betrays Jesus and turns him in for money. Good Friday is the day Jesus has his trial - is sentenced to death - and is killed (Look at the stations of the cross.) He is buried after he is dead. Saturday - is when he is in his tomb (this is called the Easter Vigil.) Sunday - Easter Sunday! this is a happy time because Jesus rose from the dead!!
ANOTHER ANSWER:
The annual Holy Day commanded and recorded by God in Leviticus 23 in The Bible: the "Passover" -- see Luke 22.
"Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew nigh, which is called the PASSOVER... Then came the day of unleavened bread, WHEN THE PASSOVER MUST BE KILLED. And He [Jesus] sent Peter and John saying, 'GO AND PREPARE US THE PASSOVER, that we may eat... And they went... and THEY MADE READY THE PASSOVER[not the Easter]. And when the hour [commanded and recorded in God's Word] was come, He [Jesus] sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him.
And He said unto them, 'WITH DESIRE I HAVE DESIRED TO EAT THIS PASSOVER WITH YOU BEFORE I SUFFER: for I say unto you, I WILL NOT ANY MORE EAT THEREOF, UNTIL IT BE FULFILLED IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.' (Luke 22:1-16)
This Passover occurred that year [31a.d.] on the evening of the day of the week we call "Tuesday," today; but which was actually the "night before" the day of the week we call "Wednesday," today: which is how God reckons the beginning of a new day, "at sundown."
In other words... Jesus kept the Passover that He commanded Moses and the Israelites to keep - FOREVER in Leviticus 23: the first annual Holy Day of the year which always pointed to what Jesus was about to undergo -- being murdered by His creation, man, for their sins. And on this momentous, long-awaited Passover, Jesus caused to be recorded by Luke THE WAY FUTURE PASSOVERS WERE TO BE OBSERVED; with the symbols of the "bread and wine."
"...THIS DO IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME..." (Luke 22:19).
It's the bloody and necessary bloodletting of the "Passover" that is commanded by God to be observed by His servants that REMEMBERS JESUS' SELFLESS SACRIFICE FOR HIS CREATION! THAT'S what He commands His servants to REMEMBER... until He comes back.
And it's the "PASSOVER" that Paul commands God's servants to observe... not His "resurrection" [or "Easter" -- the ancient pagan Babylonian goddess of fertility that modern professing false Christianity observes "Thou shalt have no other gods {or goddesses} before Me"].
"...For even Christ OUR PASSOVER is sacrificed for us: therefore LET US KEEP THE FEAST [of Unleavened Bread, which begins the day after the Passover: see Lev.23:5-6]..." (I Cor.5:7-8).
The Passover is God's "memorial" of His Son's Selfless Sacrifice for us, that "remembers" and "commemorates" His DEATH!
That year [31a.d]... the Passover fell on the day of the week we call "Wednesday"... which was exactly three days and three nights away from the day Jesus arose from the grave: that "Saturday" evening just before sundown. The same exact time of day on "Wednesday" that Jesus was buried.
Jesus wasn't "ris-ING" on the day we call "Sunday" [what we call the first day of the modern week; the days of which are named after man's pagan gods]. The Bible says that He IS ris-EN" -- PAST TENSE!
So, the day that "commemorates" Jesus' DEATH isn't a consistent "day of any week"... but the Holy [high-day Sabbath] that God commands in His Holy Word, that His servants are to observe, annually: FOREVER. It's called the "Passover."
"...this DO in remembrance of Me...".
