Paragraph 2. ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

647
O truly blessed Night, sings the Exsultet of the Easter Vigil, which alone
deserved to know the time and the hour when Christ rose from the realm of the
dead!⁵¹² But no one was an eyewitness to Christ’s Resurrection and no
evangelist describes it. No one can say how it came about physically. Still
less was its innermost essence, his passing over to another life, perceptible
to the senses. Although the Resurrection was an historical event that could be
verified by the sign of the empty tomb and by the reality of the apostles’
encounters with the risen Christ, still it remains at the very heart of the
mystery of faith as something that transcends and surpasses history. This is
why the risen Christ does not reveal himself to the world, but to his
disciples, “to those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who
are now his witnesses to the people.”⁵¹³
