Christ rose again from the dead on Easter Sunday.
Easter Sunday is the greatest feast of the Christian year because it celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. After His death on Good Friday and His burial, Christ rose triumphantly from the dead on the first day of the week. The Resurrection is the foundation of Christian hope because it demonstrates Christ's victory over sin and death. Every Sunday is celebrated by Christians as the Lord's Day because it commemorates this victory. Easter is not simply the remembrance of a past event but the celebration of a living reality. The risen Christ continues to be present in His Church, especially through the sacraments. By rising from the dead, Jesus opened the way to eternal life for all who believe in Him. Easter therefore stands at the centre of the Church's liturgical year and remains the source of Christian joy and hope.
The Resurrection of Jesus is the crowning truth of our faith in Christ. Sunday is expressly distinguished from the sabbath and follows chronologically every week. It is the day of Christ's Resurrection and is rightly called the Lord's Day.
Matthew 28:5-6
But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay."
