What does "for that sabbath day was an high day,) mean?

That particular Sabbath is regarded as a "High" Sabbath because it falls during the feast of unleavened bread. Remember Jesus was arrested on the night of the Passover and the 7 Day feast of unleaved bread starts the day after Passover. Passover and the Feast of Unleavened bread are 2 of the 7 required feasts outlined in Leviticus Chapter 23.
I could tell you, but then Mack would want to convert. ;o)
The Sabbath before Passover is called "the Great Sabbath". I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about.
