Christians across the globe, observe Easter Sunday today, the day on which Jesus Christ is believed to have risen from the dead. Christians believe, according to the Scripture, that Jesus came back to life, or was raised from the dead on Easter Sunday, three days after his death on the cross.

The week before Easter is called Holy Week and it contains the days of the Easter Triduum, including Maundy Thursday, commemorating the Jesus’ Last Supper, as well as Good Friday, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. Through his death, burial, and resurrection, Christians believe that Jesus Christ paid the penalty for sin, thus purchasing for all who believe in him, eternal life.
