Resurrection

After the Sabbath, Mary Magdalene and two other women set out at dawn to visit the tomb where Jesus had been laid. As they reached the entrance, they were startled by the dazzling figure of an angel, who said, "Do not be afraid, for I know you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here. He has risen just as he said. Come see the place where he lay."

Like the women, Christians look into the empty tomb to remember that Jesus, God's son, was crucified but after three days rose from the dead. They believe that this is the greatest miracle the world has ever known.

The Bible tells us that Jesus was raised to life giving his followers the hope that death is not the end of everything. This is why we celebrate Easter by giving and receiving Easter eggs, a symbol of new life and hope for the future.
