Sign of Jonah - a Christian perspective
Jonah's three days in the belly of the whale are used here as a mirror of the three days that Jesus Christ would spend in the grave. Jesus uses the story of Jonah to rebuke his enemies.

The First Easter
Jesus eats the Passover, the last supper with His disciples. Judas betrays Him for 30 pieces of silver. The priests arrest Him in the Garden of Gethsemane. He is judged by Annas, Herod and Pilate while Peter denies Him. He is crucified on a cross but resurrects in 3 days. He returns to heaven.
