Wrong. That high sabbath was on FRIDAY, not Thursday. Thursday was Passover, the day of crucifixion. Palm Sunday was Nissan 10, lamb selection day; Passover was Nissan 14, the FIFTH day of the week, not the fourth day. Everything took place in the passion week was strictly on God's schedule, their timing was precise. Scripture never said three FULL days and nights, only three days and nights. He was dead there for three nights, then risen at the beginning of the third day, fulfilling the Scripture.
Why don't you read Matt. 27:62-64 carefully? In 27:62 it specifically said "On the NEXT day, which followed the Day of Preparation", that was the "high sabbath" after crucifixion day. Then "after three days" in 27:63 was counting from crucifixion on Thursday as the first day, whereas in 27:64, "until the third day" was counting from Friday as the first day. The purpose is to reconcile all these different records, not picking one as your favorite and using it to beat others like a club.

They did not crucify on a Passover. Your entire view of this is all wrong. He was arrested late Tuesday, tried and crucified and died on Wednesday, in the grave when it turned thursday, and in Friday and Saturday where we get the full three days and nights rising on both the third day and after three days as per ALL the various scriptures.
No mention of complete rest? No customary work was to be done. The same language used for the regular weekly Sabbaths (Leviticus 23:3) was used in relation to high holy days, using two particular phrases: "Holy convocation" (Exodus 12:16; Leviticus 23:24; 23:35-36; Numbers 28:18), and "you shall do no servile work" (Exodus 12:16; Leviticus 16:29; 23:25; 23:35-36; Numbers 28:18). Any straightforward reading of Scripture will reveal this plainly in the text. I am not sure how "that Sabbath was a high day" can be taken to mean work was allowed when the word Sabbath itself means rest.
And he was not on the cross yet at 6pm:
Joh 19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
Joh 19:15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
Joh 19:16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
Joh 19:17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
So this is after 6pm meaning it was next day officially. It took Christ a long time to get that cross to where he would be crucified. So he is Lamb but he did not die on Passover, but certainly close to it.
In the same chapter, John 19:31 also says that was the Preparation Day of Sabbath, how do you explain that? "Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day) ..." That's because Passover was simply lumped together with the following week of Unleavened Bread. In Leviticus 23:6-8, the first day of Unleavened Bread on Nissan 15 was that high sabbath, it was instructed that no customary work should be done on that day. It didn't say that no customary work should be done on Passover.
Well, it's knowledge and understanding is what you lack, and that comes in time. One should take note, that what the majority of modern day Christians practice or follow come directly from the Roman Catholic Church. You had non spiritual people trying to decipher events that were spiritual. Since the scriptures stated, that the preparation day, was the day before the Sabbath, they automatically assumed this event took place on a Friday, because they knew the Lord's Sabbath was from Friday evening to Saturday evening. That is how they came up with the concept that Jesus died on Friday and He rose early Sunday morning. What they failed to take into account were the Lord's Holy Days or as they are also called High Sabbaths. There are seven yearly Sabbaths, and they, with the exception of Pentecost, can fall on any day of the week.
At the beginning of this lesson, it was explained in Leviticus (23:4) that the Passover which is the 14th of the month, is the day before the feast of Unleavened Bread, which is a Holy Day or A High Sabbath. The Passover is sometimes referred as the preparation day because they used this day to prepare for the feast. The Feast of Unleavened Bread is the Sabbath which was being refereed to in Mark 15:42) when it was stated that Joseph craved the body of Jesus. Jesus had been crucified on the Passover and the next day was the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Jesus foretold when His death would occur. Also by Jesus being the Passover himself, Jesus had to come off the cross because, Sundown bring in the feast of unleavened Bread. Let’s take a look and see in John 19: 31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
(Matthew 26:1) And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples, (2) Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
Now remember God's days start at evening and end the next evening. Keep that in mind as you view the next set of scriptures. Jesus had been betrayed by Judas the evening of the Passover. John 13 tells how Jesus and His disciples, that evening, were sharing the Passover meal. John (18:3) shows that same evening; Jesus was betrayed and taken away. It was still nighttime when they took Jesus, because the men that came and took and bound Him had lanterns and torches.
Jesus was crucified the next day but it was still the Passover. Remember God's days run from sundown to sundown. Jesus had been taken into custody the night of the Passover and the next morning which is the day of the Passover, He was condemned and crucified. So Jesus would Have been in the Grave Wednesday night, Thursday daytime and Thursday night, Friday daytime, Friday night, Saturday daytime and Jesus rose right before the sun went down on Saturday. Hence one has the 3 days and 3 nights which Jesus prophesied.
His death Wednesday night is consistent with the comment of the prophet Daniel, stating the Messiah would be cut off (killed) in the midst of the week.

That's good that Mary arrive at that time because it still prove Jesus was gone before she came and in (John 20:1) The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. (2) Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
So in John 20, it further gives us more understanding on the condition of the day, because it was still dark. Even at this time Jesus was gone already. Because the day starts in the evening, not the morning.
