Luke 23:56

Then they returned home and prepared aromatic (fragrant) spices and balms.
[They also buy more spices on Saturday evening after the weekly Sabbath, see Mark 16:1. They wanted to complete what Joseph and Nicodemus had begun and give Jesus a full Jewish burial, see John 19:38–42. The spices were used to mask the smell of the dead body.]

15th–16th Nisan (Thursday evening–Saturday afternoon)

[Jesus rests in the tomb. In the year 30 CE, there are two Sabbaths in succession. The first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the 15th of Nisan, is a holy Sabbath. It is followed by the weekly Sabbath, the 16th of Nisan, which lasts from Friday evening to Saturday afternoon, see Matt. 28:1.]
On the Sabbath, they remained silent according to the law.
