Resurrection

The bodily rising of Jesus Christ from the dead on the third day, the foundation of Christian faith. The Resurrection is not merely a past historical event but the inauguration of a new mode of existence—life victorious over death. It grounds Christian joy, the Eucharist’s character as feast, and the eschatological orientation of all Orthodox spirituality.
