One need not be Christian to recognize the significance of Easter Sunday to practicing Christians. However, non-Christians may not recognize that the week that precedes Easter Sunday is important and full of meaning as well. According to Christianity.com, the name 'Holy Week', which is the name Christians have given to the week preceding Easter Sunday, can be traced all the way back to the fourth century. By the end of that century, Christians commemorated various events that unfolded in the week leading up to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. That's why Christians now celebrate Palm Sunday, Holy Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday over the course of the week prior to Easter Sunday. Such celebrations underscore just how significant this period is for faithful Christians across the globe.

Last time, we suggested that while having more sources is almost always better, the evidence from the available sources is more than enough to justify putting forward a robust response to the three minimal bedrock facts: 1) Jesus died by crucifixion; 2) the disciples had experiences they believed to have been appearances of the risen Jesus; 3) a few years later Paul had an experience he interpreted to have been an appearance of the risen Jesus to him. Any competing resurrection story must answer these three minimal bedrock facts concerning the resurrection of Jesus. If you recall, we looked at “swoon theories,” whereby Jesus was actually taken down from the cross early and was later resuscitated in the tomb, as possible theories about what happened to Jesus after the crucifixion. However, we also said that these theories fail to address at least one of the three bedrock facts.
