Because it was the 1st day of ULB and also a weekly Sabbath, the 15th. The day of preparation was on Friday the 14th.
<<it was the 1st day of ULB>> correct. "It was the Preparation ('Friday') ... on the Sabbath That Selfsame Day great day sabbath" of the passover, beginning! John 19:31.
Mid-afternoon "That Day the Preparation ending mid-afternoon the Sabbath nearing" Luke 23:54, "they laid his body due to the preparations of the Jews" beginning John 19:42 mid-afternoon before the Sabbath.
The Preparation ('Friday') was the yearly passover-sabbath, the 15th. The day after was the Sabbath on the 16th; and the day before was "the Preparation-of-the-PASSOVER" and Crucifixion-day (on 'Thursday') the 14th.
Why?! Of course the quibbling will never end because .... BECAUSE OF Jesus' day of BURIAL "That Day the Selfsame WHOLE DAY BONE DAY" of the Passover-of-Yahweh and NOT A FEW MINUTES PINCHED OFF the day of Jesus' Crucifixion.
There's your whole CRUX-of the matter BONE-of-contention SUBSTANCE AND ESSENCE solution to the whole and bone of the three days and three nights 'problem'.
