Easter Sunday
Jesus had told his disciples in advance that he would rise again on the third day after his death.
He had been buried in a tomb guarded by an enormous stone so that no one could steal the body.
When some women came to visit the grave a couple of days after his death they found that the huge stone had been moved and the tomb was empty.
Jesus was seen that day and for several days later, and revisited old friends who realized what had been prophesied had come true - Jesus had indeed risen from the dead.
Easter is therefore, a time of great celebration for Christians.
Churches are sometimes decorated with white lilies, traditional Easter flowers and this makes the mood
joyful and uplifting.
