Easter Sunday, also known as Resurrection Sunday, is a Christian holiday that celebrates Jesus Christ rising from the dead. The holiday has been celebrated across the world by Christians for millennia and it is considered the most important religious event among Christians.
According to the bible, specifically the Gospel of John in the New Testament, Jesus was resurrected three days after the date of his burial, which took place on a Friday afternoon, after he was crucified by the Roman cavalry around 30 AD.
Christians believe Jesus’ body was found by one of his followers, Mary Magdalene, who upon visiting his tomb found it empty. "Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay." Matthew 28:1-6
