Easter Sunday, also called Resurrection Sunday, is the Christian holiday celebrating and commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. This is described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD. It is the culmination of the Passion of Jesus, preceded by Lent, a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance.
