We all know the familiar stories of the Triumphal Entry, the Last Supper and the crucifixion. But what happened between the resurrection and ascension?
While Christendom celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday, America's most famous nun—and may be the most well-known nun in the world next only to Mother Teresa—passed away at the age of 92.
As beautiful as it is to celebrate Jesus's victory on Calvary and out of the grave every Easter, to limit the good news that it bears to one out of 365 days in a year would be a complete waste.
At Easter, we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead; a central part of the Christian faith. Without it, the apostle Paul said belief in Jesus would be futile. In his resurrection, Christ defeated death; he removed our sins from us, enabling us to be born again into a living hope.
Pope Francis urged the world in his Easter message on Sunday to use the "weapons of love" to combat the evil of "blind and brutal violence", following the attacks in Brussels.
After a Holy Week blighted by bomb attacks in Brussels, Pope Francis led the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics into Easter celebrations on Saturday night by urging them not to lose hope in a gloomy world.
