Did Jesus REALLY Rise From the Dead?

The Catechism makes the bold claims that Christ’s resurrection was a “real event” that has been “historically verified”. Amid rising atheism and fewer people following religion, young people often feel Christianity is based on myths or legends, and the wishful thinking of Christians. How is belief in the resurrection of Jesus historically verified, and different from belief in Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy? If the Resurrection didn’t happen, then, as St. Paul says, our faith is “empty” and “we are the most pitiable people of all.” In this talk, we will explore the evidence for believing in the fact of Christ’s resurrection.
