Easter Sunday commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is the central event of the Christian faith. According to Christian belief, Jesus was crucified on Good Friday, died, and was buried in a tomb sealed with a large stone and guarded by Roman soldiers. On the third day, which is Easter Sunday, Jesus's followers, including Mary Magdalene and other disciples, visited the tomb and found the stone had been moved and Jesus's body was missing. Jesus then appeared alive to Mary and the disciples, and many people saw him over the following forty days. This event is called the resurrection, signifying that God raised Jesus from the dead, symbolizing life overcoming death and the foundation for the Christian belief in eternal life
. The week leading up to Easter, known as Holy Week, includes significant days such as Palm Sunday (Jesus's entry into Jerusalem), Maundy Thursday (the Last Supper), Good Friday (Jesus's crucifixion and death), and Holy Saturday (Jesus laid in the tomb). Easter Sunday is the culmination of this week, celebrated with joy and reverence as the holiest day on the Christian calendar
. In summary, Easter marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion, a foundational event that represents victory over death and the promise of salvation for believers
