Why Did Jesus Rise On Easter Sunday?

martha answered

He prophesied that He would be killed, buried, then would rise on day 3. For the Jews. Their 'days' are different than ours. Day 1- Friday- Jesus died and was buried.
Day 2- Saturday- the sabbath
Day 3 Sunday- Jesus rose from the grave. That is why Christians go to church on Sunday- to celebrate Resurrection Sunday.
