Maybe, but that is not clear. We know by daybreak that Mary Magdalene had discovered Him gone but we really don't know when.

Actually I would say we do He stated he would rise in three Day's

He died on Friday before sundown that why that were going to break his leg(but didn't because he was already dead) to speed up up his death to get him down before sundown before the Jewish Sabbath on Saturday (Jewish day run sundown to sundown Saturday Sabbath starts our Friday sundown)

And because no work can be done on the Saturday Sabbath there wasn't time for the all the body prep work and that why Mary was going to the tomb first thing Sunday morning

What about the concept of other high holy days also being a "Sabbath" among ancient Jews? Could there have been a High Sabbath, on Thursday, which would also have no work done in it, followed by the regular Saturday Sabbath?

A little insight as to how there could (or could not be) additional Sabbath days in ancient Judaism would be most helpful.

That puts it on Monday. By why quibble when none of the other Disciples believed He would rise by Sunday morning.
