Even in Death Christ Rested on the Sabbath

"Christendom in general believes 

--that our Lord was crucified on Friday, 

--lay in the tomb on Saturday, the 7th day of the week, 

--and rose from the dead on Sunday, the first day of the week. 

Q: How does Luke describe the day on which Christ rested in the tomb? 

A: “The Sabbath day according to the commandment.” Luke 23:56."
