Sunday When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. Mark 16:9 Sunday is the first day of the week in Jewish terms. That is why we have the weekend. Saturday for the Sabbath Rest, and then Sunday to celebrate the Ressurrection of Jesus with other believers.

All four gospels say that Jesus' tomb was found to be empty early "on the first day of the week." (Matt. 28:1; Mark 16:2 and 9; Luke 24:1; John 20:1 and 19). Here is Mark 16:9 -Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.
The first day of the week is Sunday.

Mark's Gospel, the first gospel to be written, originally ended at verse 16:8 with the young man telling the women that Jesus was risen and they fled in terror, telling no one. In this account, Jesus did not appear to anyone after he rose from the dead.
The 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) was added after the other gospels had been written, and most closely follows Luke, in having Jesus appear, first to Mary Magdalene, at some stage after the two women had fled from the empty tomb.
Matthew
In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus first appeared to the two women, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, hurrying back to tell the disciples.
Luke
In Luke's Gospel, Jesus appeared to two disciples, one of whom was named Cleopas, on the road to Emmaeus, Luke 24:34 says Jesus had also appeared to Simon (Peter), whether before or after his appearance on the road to Emmaeus.
John
John's Gospel was loosely based on Luke but changes the account of the risen Jesus. His first appearance was to Mary Magdalene standing in the garden.
Paul
Paul's epistles, which were written before the gospels, say (1 Corinthians 15:3-8) that Jesus was seen by Cephas (Peter), then the twelve (not eleven), then by more than 500, then by James and all the apostles. For Paul, the appearances seem to have been spiritual, in the same way as the later appearance to Paul himself.

What does Easter remember?
The Christian holiday of Easter celebrates a proof of the resurrection by the discovery of an empty tomb from which Christ arose. So the resurrection preceded the "first day of the week" which is reported.
What happens in Spain during the holy week?
Rituals and ceremonies are held to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus.
What time is believe that Mary Magdalene saw Jesus' resurrection?
The Gospel of John tells us that Mary Magdalene came to the tomb on Sunday morning while it was still dark and Jesus had already risen. The Gospel of Luke tells us that it was on the first day of the week (Sunday) very early in the morning, and Jesus had already risen The Gospel of Matthew tells us as the first day of the week (Sunday) began to dawn Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and Jesus had already risen. The Gospel of Mark tells us that, Very early in the morning, they (Mary and others) came to the tomb when the sun had risen. The resurrection had already taken place. Mary Magdalene did not see Jesus resurrect, but very early on Sunday morning went to the tomb and Jesus had already resurrected. We have no Idea what time Jesus arose, but it was before sunrise.
Why do people celebrate Easter Monday?
Easter is the most important annual religious feast in the Christian liturgical year.According to Christian scripture, Jesus was resurrected from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. Some Christians celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day or Easter Sunday (also Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday), two days after Good Friday and three days after Maundy Thursday. The chronology of his death and resurrection is variously interpreted to be between AD 26 and AD 36. Easter also refers to the season of the church year called Eastertide or the Easter Season. Traditionally the Easter Season lasted for the forty days from Easter Day until Ascension Day but now officially lasts for the fifty days until Pentecost. The first week of the Easter Season is known as Easter Week or the Octave of Easter. Easter also marks the end of Lent, a season of fasting, prayer, and penance.
What did people call Sunday in Jesus' time?
First day of the week.
How many days did pentacost happen after the extension?
Pentecost was fifty days after passover and Jesus ascended forty days after the resurrection. I believe the answer is pentecost occurred one week after the ascension.
If Sunday is the first day of the week and the day of Christ's resurrection according to Gospels why in many Christian countries do they count Monday as the first?
That is because Monday is the beginning of the business week and some calendars have it as the first day for reasons of expediency.
Do they commemorate time around Easter as a memorial to Jesus death?
While Christians commemorate the suffering and death of Jesus (the Passion,) during Holy Week, the days just before Easter, Easter Sunday is more a celebration of Christ's Resurrection.
Why does the church consider the season of lent and holy week the prefect time for us to respond to Christ call to repentance?
Lent and Holy Week lead up to Christ's death and resurrection. Jesus died for us so we must repent. :)
Who is holy week centred on?
It is centred of Jesus Christ. The journey through Holy Week reflects his journey from the trimphant entry into Jerusalem, through the plotting by the Jewish authorities, his arrest, trial and Crucifixion. It is then completed at Christ's resurrection on Easter Day.
How is Easter related to Lent?
Lent is the 40 days of fasting and prayer before Easter. It represents the 40 days that Jesus spent in the desert where he was tempted by Satan. The purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer-through prayer, penitence, almsgiving and self-denial-for the annual commemoration during Holy Week of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events linked to the Passion of Christ and culminates in Easter, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
How many days after the resurrection was Pentecost?
Pentecost is 50 days after Passover. So if you take the time between Passover when Jesus was crucified and the resurrection which is stated as three days later you come up with 47 days. I am sure I will get an argument on this but..................Another Answer:Without arguing, days in the Jewish custom of Jesus' day were counted from sunset to sunset and not midnight to midnight as is our tradition. Jesus was crucified on the Tuesday, Passover - the daylight portion and was buried before sunset or the start of Wednesday, the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread - a High Annual Sabbath. He remained in the tomb the nights of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Also in the tomb the days of Thursday, Friday and Saturday Resurrection (King of the Sabbath) - rising exactly 72 hours after His burial - just before sunset and the beginning of the 1st day of the week - Sunday when He was seen in the darkness hours of the early morning before the sun rose. He ascended to the Father on Sunday, the Wave Sheath offering of this Holy Week as was the tradition - representing the first harvest of mankind.So 50 days from His Resurrection on Saturday would be Pentecost Sunday or 7 weeks and 1 day from the Saturday Resurrection). The math works exactly.
