Why Do We Celebrate Easter Sunday as Resurrection Day?

Easter in Christianity is the holy celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, occurring three days after his crucifixion, marking the most significant event of the faith. It celebrates victory over sin and death, offering hope of eternal life, and is observed on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox.
