Jesus resurrected on Monday jioni (presuming story is true, anyway). This Sunday stuff is legendary crap, just like Christmas!

The cycle of the day in those times is calculated having the beginning with sunset (just like the way in Swa we say 6 pm is saa kumi na mbili). So the 'night of sunday' is what we in this day and age would call Saturday night. Also you have to understand that the three days and three nights are spoken of in parts and not in their entirety.
So the cycle is like this: he was dead on Friday, all of Saturday and the night of Sunday.
