the only reason that she could not go immediately to his tomb is because it was beginning the Sabbath day at sundown Friday?
Don't you think that she would have went the first chance she could after the Sabbath ended? And does the Jewish day end between 3-6pm where there is still some light.
The fact is She did go just after the end of the Sabbath around sundown and he had already risen because he arose on the Sabbath day of rest for he is our Sabbath and he appeared to the disciples just after the Sabbath sundown which began the first day of the WEEK, not the first daylight.
Jesus entered hell in the garden of Gethsemane when he was handed over to be put through HELL being roasted by the hand of men to be killed and on the 3rd Day arise. Wednesday Evening was Thursday the first evening and he arose at the morning of the Sabbath being the 3rd Day. Wednesday being the MIDDLE OF THE WEEK(The light in the middle of the menorah who came on the 4 thousand year mark in the middle of the 7,000 yrs)
Wednesday Evening sundown being Thursday Eve 1
Thursday morning Day 1
Thursday Evening sundown being Friday Eve 2
Friday morning Day 2
Friday Evening sundown being Saturday Eve 3
Saturday morning Day 3 He had Risen!

And after the Sabbath end, Mary immediately came only to have found the tomb empty. Jesus appeared to the disciples for the first time that evening which was now the First day of the week but on our calendar is still the 7th day Sabbath until midnight so but he arose on the morning of the Sabbath.

John 20:11-19
11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
19 Then the same day at evening{Saturday}, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
