We know that Yeshua was raised from the dead on the first day of the week or Sunday. We also know that Yeshua said he would be three days and nights in the belly of the earth to fulfill the sign of Jonah. Matt 19:19

Counting backwards from Sunday will show that Yeshua was crucified on Passover, Wednesday, Nisan 14, at twilight. He had to be taken down off the cross before sundown because that is when the high holy day of the feast of unleavened bread begins. Yeshua was buried at the feast of unleavened bread. He laid in the tomb three days and nights to fulfill the sign of Jonah. According to the Tractate Semihot of the Mishnah, Jews didn't believe you were dead until you were dead for three days and nights. this is why Yeshua waited so long to go to Lazarus. Yeshua arose sometime after sundown on Saturday, which would have been Sunday, or according to Leviticus 23, the feast of firstfruits.

Passover is only for one day and it fell on Wednesday, Nisan 14, 30ad, the day of the crucifixion of Yeshua.

The next day began the 7 day observation of the feast of unleavened bread, the first day of which is a high holy day as is the seventh day. the feasts of Passover and unleavened bread are often combined and referred to as Passover. In this sense passover 30 AD would have been from Wednesday the 14th of Nisan until the following Thursdays Nisan 23rd, 30AD.
