0 On the third day after the crucifixion some women went to Jesus' tomb and found the stone rolled away and the tomb empty. 1 Christians believe Jesus rose from the dead, and they celebrate it at Easter. 2 The risen Jesus met his friends: Mary Magdalene in the garden, two sad disciples on the road to Emmaus, doubting Thomas, and Peter by the lake, who was forgiven and given a fresh start. 4 The first Christians shared what they had, ate together, prayed and cared for the poor, and the small group grew into a worldwide church. 5 For a child today Easter means hope: death and failure are not the end, honest doubts are met with patience, and anyone who has let a friend down can start again. 6 On the third day women went to Jesus' tomb and found the stone rolled away and the tomb empty. 7 Christians believe Jesus rose bodily from death and is alive; this is the centre of Christian hope. 8 Christians call Easter the most important Christian festival. 9 In John's Gospel Mary Magdalene was the first to meet the risen Jesus; she thought he was the gardener until he said her name. 10 Two disciples on the road to Emmaus walked with a stranger and recognised Jesus when he broke the bread. 12 By the lake the risen Jesus asked Peter three times, «Do you love me?», and told him, «Feed my sheep». 13 Forty days after Easter Jesus was taken up into heaven; this is called the Ascension. 14 In the Great Commission Jesus told his followers to go to all nations, make disciples and baptise them. 15 Fifty days after Easter the Holy Spirit came on the disciples like wind and tongues of fire, and they spoke in many languages; this is Pentecost. 16 Christians call Pentecost the birthday of the Church. 17 The first Pentecost happened during a Jewish harvest feast, Shavuot, held fifty days after Passover. 18 The first Christians shared their belongings, ate together, prayed and cared for the poor (Acts 2). 19 Other people, such as many atheists and sceptics, do not believe the resurrection happened; Christians and non-Christians can discuss this with respect. ← previous The Last Supper and the crucifixionnext → Paul, his letters and the way of love↑ back to Religion ethics This page in Markdown → https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/religion-ethics/19-easter-and-pentecost/
