Why do you suppose the Apostles prohibited a Thursday fast and required a Friday one if Jesus were crucified on Thursday instead of Friday?

Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday, the 14th of Nisan/Abib. He died about 3:00 P.M. as the lambs were being slaughtered in the temple, [Leviticus 23:5]. He was buried that day right before sunset, [Luke 23:54]. The new day dawned shortly thereafter, being the First Sabbath of Unleavened Bread...this would be Wednesday evening/ Thursday day (our time) , Nisan 15, [Leviticus 23:6]. The women bought their spices on Nisan 16, [Mark 16:1], Thursday evening/Friday day (our time). They rested after buying and preparing the spices according to the commandment, [Luke 23:56 and that day would be Friday evening/Saturday (Sabbath Day), Nisan 17, and also the day of resurrection at or about sundown. This would have been 72 hours from the burial in the tomb on Passover, Nisan 14, Wednesday afternoon, [Matthew 28:1].

By the way....the Douay-Rheims Bible also says in Matthew 28:1 [And in the end of the Sabbath], in other words, still the Sabbath day. Verse 6 like the others says, [He is not here, for he has risen].
