| Summary: | It would superficial to identify merely the resurrection of Jesus as the content of the Christian celebration of Easter; nor is Easter only about the resurrection or just about the fate of Jesus. Instead the celebration and the theology of Easter present an overview of God's saving activity: human beings, created good but fallen, are saved through Christ's taking on human nature, descending into the kingdom of the dead through his sufferings and death, and raising human beings with him to God in heaven. The liturgy has various ways of bringing this even home to us: succinct texts, sacramental celebrations, including dramatic rites; but the resurrection itself eludes a detailed portrayal. |
