Re: When was the Resurrection
Those whom study the scriptures and I mean all the scriptures, will see that Jesus was crucified on late Wednesday, just before sunset and Jesus said that He would rise again the third day, so it means that Jesus rose from the grave late Saturday, just before sunset. That's why it says that early the first day when it was still dark Jesus was risen. It does not mean that He rose from the grave on Sunday, but that He was already raised by that time.

Neither day
Everything related to God dealing with the salvation of man is tied to a system of dates that foreshadow, fulfill, then repeat themselves in a concrete chain of events that give believers insight into God's plan for man. Everything symbolism has definite meaning that is critical to the life of a believer, ignorance of such items leave a believer venerable and unsatisfied.
Jesus was sacrificed as the Passover Lamb. This was observed in a Holy Day established God (Feast of Unleavened Bread). The Feast of Unleavened Bread was a threefold system of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits. This all begins with understanding that the Biblical day begins at sundown, not 12 mid night in Roman solar calendar.
1Jesus enters Jerusalem on the 10th day of Nissan which fulfills Exodus 12:3-7 as the Lamb being picked on the 10th day and killed four days later at twilight.
2.Passover begins on the 14 day of Nissan (Tuesday for Gentiles) at sundown when Jesus ate the Passover Meal with His disciples (Luke 22:15,16). Passover was not a public convocation, but a private at home event led by the head of a household, hence why Jesus observed it as such.
3.Jesus is taken captive during the same night and tried on the 14th day of Nissan Tuesday.
4.Jesus is crucified and dies at the 9th hour (3pm) on 14th day of Nissan (Wednesday for Gentiles) still on the Day of Passover. (Matt 27:50-55)
5.Jesus had to put in the grave immediately because the Sabbath was approaching and people could not be buried on the Sabbath; but this was no regular Sabbath, this was one of the High Sabbaths (Feast of Unleavened Bread). Feast of Unleavened Bread was a public event every male was command to attend and centered on the Temple and lead by the Priest. Ex 12:14-17
6.Feast of Unleavened Bread began on 15th of Nissan (Wednesday for Gentiles)at sundown but was proceeded by a day of Preparation which was assigned to all regular Sabbaths and High Sabbaths (Luke 23-53-56). This preparation Day was on the same day as the day of Passover.
7.Jesus stayed in the grave exactly as Jonah stayed in the big fish full three nights and three full days for a seventy two hours period. (Matt 12:38-40) This covers Wednesday night to Thursday day, Thursday night to Friday day, and Friday night to lastly Saturday day in Gentile days. This is a full three days and nights and flat three day period. The traditional belief is that He died on Friday and was resurrected on Sunday; however, this does not cover a complete period of three days and three nights. The best you get is three days and two nights if you do some crazy math.
8.The regular weekly Sabbath during the same week began on the 17th of Nissan Friday at sundown (Ex 20:8-10) and ended Saturday evening right before sundown. Jesus was resurrected before sundown on Saturday evening. He never stayed in the grave until sundown which would have ran into Sunday and made his stay in the grave 4 days.
Any question for more details, hit me back.
