The Gregorian calendar reproduced these conditions by removing ten days.^[7]

Many Protestant countries initially objected to adopting a Catholic innovation; some Protestants feared the new calendar was part of a plot to return them to the Catholic fold.

Britain and the British Empire (including the eastern part of what is now the United States) adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1752, followed by Sweden in 1753.

Are there not twelve hours in the day?

Hours are flexible in length.

An 'hour' in the winter is a LOT shorter than one in summer.

it is written,

Mathew 5:7
Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. 18”For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.…

Lev 11:7
Now this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which shall be presented to the Lord.

Lev 11:15
Now as for the flesh of the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offerings, it shall be eaten on the day of his offering; he shall not leave any of it over until morning. 16 But if the sacrifice of his offering is a votive or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice, and on the [k]next day what is left of it may be eaten; 17 but what is left over from the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire. 18 So if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings should ever be eaten on the third day, he who offers it will not be accepted, and it will not be reckoned to his benefit. It shall be an offensive thing, and the person who eats of it will bear his own iniquity.

Lev 19:5
Now when you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted. 6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and the next day; but what remains until the third day shall be burned with fire. 7 So if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an offense; it will not be accepted. 8 Everyone who eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned the holy thing of the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from his people

1 Corinthians 15
1Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

3For what I received I passed on to you as of first importancea : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5and that he appeared to Cephas,and then to the Twelve.

according to scripture
Exodus 12:6The Passover Lamb
You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month, then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel is to kill it at twilight.

Leviticus 23:5In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight is the Lord’s Passover.
Day 1- Feast of Passover

Leviticus 23:6Then on the fifteenth day of the same month there is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. 7 On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work.
Day 2- Sabbath- Feast of Unleavened Bread

Leviticus 23:9-11Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter the land which I am going to give to you and reap its harvest, then you shall bring in the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest. 11 He shall wave the sheaf before the Lord for you to be accepted; on the day AFTER THE SABBATH the priest shall wave it.
Day 3- Feast of First Fruits.

the gospel, according to scripture.

1 Corinthians 15
7Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed. 8Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
1 Corinthians 15
But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.

2 Corinthians11:4
4For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully.

Mathew 12:41
The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment, and will condemn it because they repented at the PREACHING of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. 42”The Queen of the South will rise up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

Jonah 3:3
Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three days’ walk. 4Then Jonah began to go through the city one day’s walk; and he cried out and said, “Yet forty days and Nineveh will be overthrown.”

It took Jonah three days to walk entirely through Ninevah, because it was an exceedingly great city. and he preached repentance. quite a whale of a city, similar to Jerusalem, some could say, is quite the heart of the earth.

[Gil4]

There is a bit of a problem with the narrative for the Wednesday crucifixion theory, especially in the book of Luke. The women saw the tomb, went home and started preparing spices, rested on the Sabbath, bought more spices after sundown on Saturday, and went to the tomb early on Sunday to begin preparing the body at the first available moment of non-Sabbath daylight.

Another problem for the Wednesday crucifixion theory is the interchangeable use of “three days and three nights” and “the third day.” Maybe you could make the case that the resurrection at exactly sundown at the intersection of Saturday and Sunday could be the third day, but on the road to Emmaus the disciples talked about the crucifixion and said that “it is the third day since all this took place.” If he was crucified on Wednesday, there is no way that nearly evening on Sunday is still the third day.

Attempts to make it simply a matter of an error in the Gregorian calendar understate the issues with said calendar - it’s so messed up that we can’t even agree on a year, let alone a day. The “three days and three nights” as an idiom is the best explanation.
