Resurrection or rising again; in Christian theology, specifically refers to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ; also used in philosophical and general contexts.
From Greek ana- (up, again) + stasis (standing, from histanai 'to stand'). The term literally means 'standing up again' and was adapted into Christian terminology early in church development.
Anastasis is one of the most powerful words in religious history—it means 'standing up again,' and churches dedicated to the Holy Anastasis (Church of the Resurrection in Jerusalem) have been pilgrimage sites for nearly 2,000 years!
