People often ask the question what is the most important festival for Christians, Christmas or Easter?
The foundation of the Christian faith is in essence the Resurrection of Jesus, without the resurrection the belief in God's saving grace and mercy through the life and sacrificial death of Jesus is nul and void.
Without Christmas day we have no incarnation (Jesus living on this earth), but without Easter Day we have no salvation!
When Jesus rose from the dead he proved that he wasn't just a 'good teacher', a 'wise prophet'; He proved that He was the Son of God and proved that the work of atonement was complete.
The Bible account suggests that the women went early on the Sunday morning to the tomb expecting to anoint Jesus' body with oil but when they arrived they found His tomb empty and were initially rightly confused and upset.
Instead they met what is described as the Angel of the Lord, who told them not to be afraid, because Jesus had risen.
