He was resurrected during the third day after his death. He died on the 14th of the ancient Jewish month of Nisan (pronounced Ny-san). He died on Friday, Nisan the 14th, he was dead through the course of Saturday, Nisan the 15th, which was the sabbath day, and then on Sunday, Nisan the 15th, he was raised up. The Jews followed a lunar calendar which used the phases of the moon, rather than the solar calendar that we use today. The period of Nisan 14th through Nisan 16th falls on different days for us year-to year. It moves back and forth inside of about a three week window that corresponds to roughly the middle of our month of March to close to the middle of our month of April. Also the Jews changed their date at sundown, rather than at midnight like we do, so each date began at sundown and ran until sundown the next day. This year, 2008, the date on our calendar that corresponded to the date that Jesus died (Nisan 14th) was sundown, Saturday, March 22. By our way of looking at it, the date that corresponded to when Jesus died was March 23, but to them it would have still been regarded as the same date, Nisan 14, since he died before sundown the next day (He died about 3 o'clock in the afternoon). He was dead during entirety of Nisan 15th, to us that was the evening of Sunday, March 23 to sundown, Monday, March 24th, and he was resurrected on Nisan 16th.(evening of Monday, March 24th to sundown, Tuesday, March 25th). Next year, the dates on our calendar will be different again, but it will be very close to the dates it was this year. A little extra info: The Jews changed their month at every new moon. There were generally 12 months, but occassionally they added a 13th month to make it work out every year, kind of like we do with the extra day we add on a leap year. The month of Nisan started on the first new moon after the spring equinox. This was the month that they celebrated the Passover on the 14th. This was the month that they were released from slavery in Egypt. Jesus was actually executed on one of their principle holy days, the Passover.
Jesus didnt just 'come to life'. He has always existed, from the very beginning of time and before. Just the same as God, because He is God. This sounds totally complicated to our minds but it is true.
Early Sunday morning. Jesus died Friday evening prior to Sundown. (In those days Sundown marked the end of a day/beginning of a new day.) In accordance with the 10 commandments Jesus "rested" in the grave through Saturday and was raised Sunday morning. The Bible records that he was raised on the 3rd day--Friday, Saturday then Sunday.
This event is celebrated today in yearly in early morning Easter services held in many parts of the world.

My faith in Jesus is very strong, as the prophecies were all fulfilled , and to the detail that They would cast lots for his clothes, that Jesus would arise again in three days.
Christians believe that when Jesus died he freed them from sin. They are not celebrating the fact that jesus died, they are celebrating the fact that Jesus made it possible for them to live forever in heaven.

Day happens because we are in the sun's direct light. The sun seems to "arise" when actually the earth is rotating. The moon can be out in the "daytime" the moon's orbit around the earth has little to do with night and day. Although the moon is brighter at night.
