The Resurrection, to Christians, means that Jesus has come back from the dead. Resurrection, as defined by the dictionary, is "to restore (a dead person) back to life." To Christians, The Resurrection is referred to as Jesus Christ's Resurrection. Christians believe that God's Son came to earth to be human. When he was human, he died for humanity's sins so that we may be free from death in Hell. Later on, after he was dead, as believed, He came back from the dead three days after he had died. Then, He floated up to Heaven where He sits, as the Bible says, at the right hand side of God. However, this is a very summarized version of a complete answer to your question.
