I guess it is interesting to consider that our traditional view of Holy Week is incorrect, but it doesn't affect our faith.

Akhan Otto,
Was He not risen on Sunday? If He was not risen on Sunday, disregard your Aramaic bible because that's what it says.
It is very clear from Mark 16:2 that they went to the tomb as the sun was rising, in other words "dawn." The Sabbath actually ended on the previous sunset. That gave Meshikha at least 8 hours to have risen before they got to the tomb, still on Sunday. Also, when we read verse 9:
Mark 16:9 - "b'Shapra den b'Khad b'Shabba Qam", "He arose in the morning on Sunday"
It doesn't get any clearer than that. He arose on Sunday morning.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with our traditional view of Holy Week.
