Exodus 23:15 You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. And none shall appear before Me empty-handed. (NASB)
21 Abib in 36 CE, the third day of the week (the “evening” of 4/8 and “morning” of 4/9) on the seventh day of Unleavened Bread, marked the final day of the feast; it is an annual or High Sabbath and a holy convocation:
Leviticus 23:6 Then on the fifteenth day of the same month there is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. 7 On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work. 8 But for seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord. On the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work. (NASB)
In 36 CE, Christ had ascended to Heaven for the first time the day before and spent this day resting at the right hand of the Most High.
