Today was a holiday, as mentioned in Megillas Taanis.
As a matter of fact, from the 1st to the 7th Nissan, is one Yom-Tov, and from 8 until after Pesach another. The first set came to mark the victory over the Sadducees/Tzadokim. The second set came to mark their victory over the Boethusians/Baysosim.
It seems that there was a struggle between the Pharisees/Perushim over how things should be implemented in the Beis Hamikdash, and Baruch Hashem, the Pharisees won, and the correct procedures were put into place.
These disputations took place in the times of Rabban Yochanan ben Zakai, who lived through the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash.
