Well, Catholic tradition is wrong. Jesus died on a Wednesday.

Jesus Himself said He would be in the earth for three days and three nights. Catholic tradition claiming otherwise makes that a lie, therefore Jesus did not fulfill His own prophecy.

Have you jettisoned the Nicene Creed in your haste to repudiate Catholicism?

1 Corinthians 15: 3* For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures;a 4that he was buried; that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures;b

The third day: Friday, Saturday, Sunday. If as you claim, Jesus died on Wednesday, and spent three full days (which is not according to Jewish tradition), we have a Saturday resurrection. Have you wandered that far off of Christianity?

Jesus died late afternoon.

Wednesday night, Thursday day,

Thursday night, Friday day,

Friday night, Saturday day,

Three nights and three days, just as Jesus said.

Jesus rises sometime Saturday night, the time is not specified, and the women come to the tomb on Sunday morning, the first day of the Jewish week, with the spices they prepared on what we consider Friday, the day between the Passover Sabbath (Thursday), and the regular weekly Sabbath (Saturday).

Matthew 12:40 For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
