Join the new world

Greetings to all ePeople of good Will.

I know that people love to read articles in which author mocking, attacking, accusing etc someone,
But this article has nothing to do with it.
This newspaper is dedicated to all the good things that are related to eRepublik and ePeople,
and You just can hate us or love us.

Although I am a big proponent against puting RL in the game, I think that such big things should be divided among the ePeople, so everybody could learn something new.
Whether this is linked to Islam, Christianity, Buddhism or other religions which spreading peace and prosperity.

This edition of the "Union of ePeople " is about one of the most joyful Christian holiday,
- The resurrection of Jesus Christ





In the Christian Gospels, the Resurrection of Jesus was the return to bodily life of Jesus after his death by crucifixion.

Most Christians accept the New Testament chronicle in all four Gospels as a historical account of
Jesus' resurrection which is central to their faith,that His tomb founded empty by his followers after the third day of death and burial in tumb.

Church teachings do not speak about the manner in which the apostles came to body of Jesus.
at that time, after the accused one is put on the two connected peace of wood, more known as a Cross, and after accused dies on it, the prisoners body attaches to a tree, and stay there for one night.The body was guarded by soldiers.
Just before dawn of the next day, the family of prisoners would be given approval to bury the body.
There are two ways by which the apostles came to body of Jesus before the down:
-They pay to guards(more likely)
-one of the guards followed Jesus' teachings

-According to the Gospels, Jesus rise from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion.
The Gospel of Matthew states that after an earthquake an angel appeared near the tomb of Jesus and announced his resurrection to Mary Magdalene and "another Mary" who had arrived to anoint the body.

-According to Luke there were two angels.

-According to Mark there was a youth dressed in white.
He states that on the morning of Jesus resurrection, Jesus first appeared to Mary Magdalene.

-John states that when Mary looked into the tomb, two(one in Ortodox) angel(s) asked her why she was crying; and as she turned round she initially failed to recognize Jesus until he spoke her name.


1)Apostolic teachings agree about who has found that body of Jesus has gone, and in this part,women plays central role.

1a)While the first version is accepted by the church(Catolic and Ortodox), the more known version among people saying that the apostles found empty tomb, the reason for this is probably the church at the beginning denied any existence of women in the life of Jesus Christ, and so traditionally conveyed this message among people.

After the discovery of the empty tomb, the Gospels indicate that Jesus made a series of appearances to the disciples,
Apostol Paul travels to Athens and speaks at the Areopagus, where he claims that over 500 people were witnesses of the resurrected Jesus, many still alive at the time.
There are many more storys with this content.

Shroud of Turin
Is a linen cloth bearing the image of a man who appears to have suffered physical trauma in a manner consistent with crucifixion. It is kept in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin, northern Italy.




Less known and not-accepted version by Church


There are others too, who think that Jesus
continued to live in peace, and he had a wife and childrens(Jesus Bloodline), that he died from natural death and that He have been buried the family tomb along with His childrens and the rest of family.

This story comes to light after the discovery of Talpiot Tomb around 1980y.


The names funded in the tumb:
-Yeshua bar Yosef
-Mariamne(Mara) more known as Mary Magdalene
-Maria
-Yosa
-Matiah

Non-Christian
Jewish perspective
- the body of Jesus was removed in the same night. Apologists see this as an acknowledgment that the tomb was empty, with an attempt to explain it away.

Islamic perspective
-Jesus was not crucified.
"But Allâh raised him up to Himself. And Allâh is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise".
The Qu'ran says in Surah An-Nisa
"And because of their saying, "We killed Messiah 'Îsâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allâh".

1)In Western Christianity, Easter marks the end of Lent, a period of fasting and penitence in preparation for Easter, which begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts forty days (not counting Sundays).

The Sunday before Easter is Palm Sundayand the last three days before Easter are Maundy Thursday or Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday. Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday respectively commemorate Jesus' entry in Jerusalem, the Last Supper and the Crucifixion.

2)In Eastern Christianity, the spiritual preparation for Pascha begins with Great Lent, which starts on Clean Monday and lasts for 40 continuous days (including Sundays).
The last week of Great Lent (following the fifth Sunday of Great Lent) is called Palm Week, and ends with Lazarus Saturday

The main difference between Western and Eastern churches is in the date of celebration of Easter.

Easter Egg
The egg was a symbol of the rebirth of the earth in celebrations of spring and was adopted by early Christians as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus

Legends

-Mary Magdalene was bringing cooked eggs to share with the other women at the tomb of Jesus, and the eggs in her basket miraculously turned brilliant red when she saw the risen Christ

-After the Ascension of Jesus, Mary went to the Emperor of Rome and greeted him with
“Christ has risen,” whereupon he pointed to an egg on his table and stated, “Christ has no more risen than that egg is red.” After making this statement it is said the egg immediately turned blood red.

Special interest was born from this so that today we have many genuine artistic works that are related to the Easter eggs.
I bring You the best for me:
