I dont think the Bible gives an exact time to the Resurrection, whether it happened at 6:01pm or 6:01am is ultimately moot, IMO. We know it happened on Sunday at some point.

But I do like the poetic nature of Christ rising at sunrise as the Sun rises in the east and breaks through the darkness of the world.

John 1:4-5, 9
In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it... The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.

I would agree up to a point. The early church recognized the morning of the first day of the week as special, not Saturday evening, for a reason. The rolling away of the stone marks a significant event by God. If Jesus rose at 11:30 PM Saturday nite - why wait until after sunrise that morning to open the tomb? The recognition of Sunday morning by the early church means a lot.
