The resurrection from the dead of Jesus Christ (his death is commemmorated on Good Friday).
The crucifix is covered on Good Friday and Holy Saturday to represent Jesus being in the tomb.
There are several images of Jesus used by the Church, namely: The Good Shepherd, The Vine and the Branches, and The Bride of Christ. The Good Shepherd image uses the metaphor of a flock of sheep for the people of the Church. Jesus is the Good Shepherd, and he takes care of his sheep. The Vine and the Branches says that Jesus is the vine, we are the branches, God the Father is the planter of the vine. We all stem from Him. The Bride of Christ shows how Jesus is so devoted to the Church (his bride) that he gave his life for her. Hope this helped.
Jesus died on Good Friday, and rose on Easter.
