Resurrection

Christ

According to the Bible, Jesus Christ resurrected three days after his death.

The Latin word resurrectĭo came into our language as resurrection . It is about the process and result of resurrection (regaining life after having died).

For example: "Tomorrow, in the parish, we will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus" , "When I was a boy I always dreamed of the resurrection of my dog" , "The doctors say that I was clinically dead for three minutes: I achieved the resurrection thanks to their efforts » .

What is the resurrection

It is understood that the resurrection consists of returning to the life one had before death . That is why it can be said that to resurrect is to revive. In general, the notion is associated with a question of faith, since the death of a living being is, for science , irreversible.

Thus, in Christian countries, the resurrection is usually associated exclusively with Jesus Christ . According to the Bible , Jesus Christ was resurrected three days after dying on the cross . This miracle is celebrated on the holiday known as Easter .

Likewise, the Bible also includes the resurrection of Lazarus , a friend of Jesus Christ whom he managed to bring back to life after having died and being buried.

The resurrection of Christ is celebrated on Easter.

The view of science

There is no scientific argument that can explain how a man who was tortured to death and buried could, three days later, come back to life.

Likewise, there is no evidence that really demonstrates that a person, more than two thousand years ago, achieved the resurrection.

The resurrection in the cinema

Within the cinematographic field we have to point out the existence of various films that revolve around the resurrection on which religion is based. One of those is precisely "Resurrection" , a 2016 Argentine film that revolves around the figure of a young priest who, in the second half of the 19th century, decides to move to the city of Buenos Aires to help those sick with yellow fever.

Contact with these people, seeing what happens to them and witnessing how many of them end up dying without sense and without help, will make the central character come to rethink his faith, his religious beliefs and even the real role of the religion.

The term in music

Likewise, within the field of music there are several songs that also have the word in question in their titles. This would be the case, for example, of "Resurrección" by the Spanish group El Último de la Fila , which revolves around a story of love and heartbreak.

Furthermore, the Zaragoza group Amaral also has a composition with that same title. Specifically, it is about love and about an endless number of sensations and feelings that fill people's lives and that are not bought, that are not material objects.

Resurrection in a symbolic sense

The notion of resurrection is also used in a symbolic sense to name a recovery .

It can be said that a football team that lost four consecutive games achieves its resurrection when it breaks that streak with a win and then has another three wins and a draw.
