Thank you for your allegiance with the following:
“And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.”

So?
Just as the beginning of the day changed the beginning of the year changed as well (Ex.12:2).
As I said, the Jewish day started in the morning, as witnessed by what is written here:
"In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher" (Mt.28:1; KJV).
The two Marys came to the tomb at the rising of the sun (Mk.16:1) and that is when the first day of the week began.
According to you the day spoken of there would have ended in the evening. But when the evening of that day came that day remained the first day of the week:
"Then the same day at evening, 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" (Jn.20:19; KJV).
