The Resurrection refers to the event in which Jesus Christ is believed to have risen from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. This event is a central tenet of Christianity, symbolizing victory over sin and death. It is celebrated by Christians around the world during Easter, which commemorates both the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus. According to the New Testament, after his resurrection, Jesus appeared to his disciples and many others over a period of forty days before ascending to heaven. The Resurrection is seen as a fulfillment of biblical prophecies and is foundational to the Christian faith, offering hope of eternal life to believers.
