In short, Jesus rose from the dead after being in the grave for 3 days.

For Jesus, he was placed in a new tomb that had been carved from a hillside, wrapped in linens and herbs, and left with a heavy stone covering the opening. Shortly after burial, soldiers were dispatched to guard the tomb. After two nights, the women who followed Jesus went to the gravesite and discovered that the stone had been moved and the body was missing; the linens were neatly left where the body had been placed. A man in the garden spoke to the women and they left after learning that the Lord had risen. They told the men including Peter and John, who did not believe at first but came to believe when they reached the grave. After this, the Lord appeared to disciples several times before and after ascending to heaven.

Just slightly off topic, this episode is one of the places that we are to understand that the Jewish proscription against women in clergy is at an end. Who were the first to see that the Lord had risen? The women! And what did they do? They immediately spread the word.

This parallels what happened when Jesus spoke to a Samaritan woman at the well. Although he admonished her not to speak of what was said, he knew that she would spread the word that the Lord had come. The first and the last people to spread the word that Jesus the Lord and Prophet was real ... were the women.
the sky went black for three days until he rose again.
