Paragraph 2. ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD
639
The mystery of Christ’s resurrection is a real event, with manifestations that
were historically verified, as the New Testament bears witness. In about A.D.
56 St. Paul could already write to the Corinthians: “I delivered to you as
of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in
accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, that he was raised on
the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to
Cephas, then to the Twelve. . .”490 The Apostle speaks here of the
living tradition of the Resurrection which he had learned after his conversion
at the gates of Damascus.491
