On the morning of the third day after His crucifixion several women went to take care of the body. This was put off due to the fact that the crucifixion came just prior to the Sabbath, which is Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. This mandated that no work could be done. When the women got to the tomb the stone had been rolled away despite the two Roman guards standing outside. The tomb was empty. The shroud that the body had been wrapped in was lying in a heap. But the napkin (facial cloth that covered the deceased's head) was folded neatly and was laying nearby in the tomb. I imagine Jesus folded the facial napkin as a sign that His body had not been stolen, since no tomb robber would take the time to fold and place it neatly like it was found. After the resurrection Jesus walked the earth for 40 days and then ascended to the Father in heaven.

Why does Easter matter?

The events surrounding Easter are the centralpart of the Christian faith. Jesus was executed on a Friday, but on the following Sunday, Christians believe, and a belief based on firm evidence, that Jesus Christ rose again. Because of this unique resurrection, Christ's divinity is proved and his life, teachings and claims validated. Easter Day is the commemoration and celebration of Christ's resurrection and so it is immensel important; some would also say that without the resurrection the Christian faith would not exist.

Does the book of Mormon reference the resurrection of Jesus?

Yes! The Book of Mormon references the resurrection of Jesus Christ long before the event actually took place. In 2 Nephi chapter 9 (estimated to be written in 559 BC) we learn that it has been the plan of God from the beginning that there should be a resurrection brought about by the atonement of a Savior, who is Jesus Christ. In Jacob chapter 4 (estimated to be written in 544 BC), the atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ is also mentioned. In the book of Mosiah, chapter 15 (estimated to be written in 148 BC) the doctrine of resurrection is discussed. Here, we learn that Jesus Christ will break the bonds of death, that He will be resurrected, and that through Him all others will be resurrected. Jesus' resurrection is also discussed in chapter 18. In Alma chapter 40 (estimated to be written in 74 BC), the doctrine of resurrection and the event of Christ's resurrection is discussed in further detail. Helaman chapter 14 (estimated to be written in 6 BC) teaches that "the resurrection of Christ redeemeth mankind." and foretells what those on the American continent will experience at the time of Christ's death and resurrection. The 3 Nephi tells of the events that occurred in the Americas at the time of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, but does not repeat the Bible story of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It describes a period of three days darkness taking place during the time Christ was in the tomb, and tells the story of the resurrected Christ visiting the Book of Mormon peoples several months after His resurrection. The later books of Mormon and Moroni, written a few hundred years after the life of Christ, remind us that we should have hope in the power of the resurrection of Christ.
