I keep coming back to the interesting parallels between Jesus' life and that of Jonah. The most famous one, of course, is the three days and three nights in the belly of the whale compared to Jesus' time in the tomb. While scholars continue to debate the exact days of the week included in the latter event, it is interesting to note that there was an ancient belief that a dead person had to travel three days after death to reach Hades.
