After Jesus was crucified, according to Christian belief, the central event that followed was the Resurrection. Christians believe that on the third day after his crucifixion, Jesus rose from the dead. His tomb, which had been sealed and guarded, was found empty, and Jesus appeared to his disciples and others over the course of forty days, demonstrating that he had overcome death. The Resurrection is the foundational event of the Christian faith, signifying the defeat of death and the possibility of eternal life for believers. It is celebrated by Christians worldwide on Easter Sunday. Following the period of appearances, according to the New Testament, Jesus ascended into heaven in the presence of his disciples. This event is known as the Ascension.
