As I understand it, in Eastern logic, any part of a day is counted as one day. Friday afternoon counts as one day, Saturday counts as one day, and Sunday morning counts as one day.
Several years ago the so-called "World Wide Church of God" claimed that the "high Sabbath" refered to in the scripture was actually the Passover, which started on Wednesday night in Holy Week. Jesus had already risen by Sunday, so the time in the tomb was Thursday, Friday, and Saturday--three days and three nights.
Food for thought?
