It was a serious question. Whenever I hear the story told, he was killed and three days later he's risen. That would make it Monday, not Sunday. It looks like there's a different version, based upon what Kepler wrote.

It's "the third day." On the first day (Friday) Christ was crucified, on the second day, I dunno, cookout?, and on the third day (Sunday) he rose.

Here's the text. Attend in particular to verse 3-5:

3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve.

I dunno why "Cephas" (a.k.a. Simon Peter, the apostle) rates. I was taught the first person to see the risen Christ was Mary Magdalene, ur-whore-with-the-heart-of-gold and, if you believe Perugini, a girl who could get a rise out of a man.

Anyway, it's Sunday. It's the third day, not "three days later." This is not a disputation that has a future.

Trust the atheist on this one. :)

Have you ever looked at a calendar and seen Easter Monday? I have. It's on my calendar at the office.

I never grew up with any of this stuff. The only times I was in a church were for weddings and funerals.
 
Re: Religion Thread: That's Me In the Corner...

From the relevant section of the Apostles Creed
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again
from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand
of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge
the living and the dead.

On Saturday he liberated all the souls who had been in "storage"(Limbo) since the Fall. He then reopened the gates of Heaven that were also closed since the Fall.

Are there days of the week in heaven and hell? I tend to think that when you're in either place you've passed out of time.

Maybe hell still has time, but heaven is the realm of God, and God is outside of time and space.

Does this work with Lazarus and the rich man, or with the prophet who hitchhiked on a chariot of fire, etc? Is it based on any text or is it just vile popery? :)
Also: who first invented the idea of "purgatory"?
 
Re: Religion Thread: That's Me In the Corner...

This is a fascinating and beautiful song.

These are the verses it is based on.

tl; dr: Jephthah promises God if he wins his war he will sacrifice the first thing that comes to meet him when he returns home. Which turns out to be his only child. So that happened.

I like this better.

Psalm 51 (50 for the pre V2 fans). Sung during the Tenebrae service on Spy Wednesday or Holy Thursday, depending.

If you want the story behind Allegri's Miserere, the BBC had a Sacred Music episode. I recommend the CD set from Amazon.

Featured in Civ IV. :-)

I had never heard of the Tenebrae rite. Another casualty of the changes in the liturgy.

Though I had seen this.
