On Easter, according to Christian belief and the biblical accounts, Jesus rose from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion, which is celebrated as the resurrection. Early on Sunday morning, women including Mary Magdalene went to Jesus' tomb and found the large stone rolled away and the tomb empty. An angel told them that Jesus, who had been crucified, was not there because He had risen from the dead
. Jesus then appeared to Mary Magdalene and other followers, and later to His disciples, confirming that He had been raised and commissioning them to spread the gospel
. This resurrection is seen as proof that Jesus conquered death and sin, fulfilling the scriptures and confirming His divine authority
. Before the resurrection, Jesus was crucified on Good Friday, died on the cross, and was buried in a tomb
. His spirit was believed to have gone to heaven during the three days before His body was resurrected
. Easter is the central Christian feast celebrating this resurrection, symbolizing hope, redemption, and eternal life
. The resurrection event is foundational to Christian faith, signifying that Jesus' sacrifice was accepted by God and that believers can have salvation through Him
