Yes, Christ is risen. The tomb is a historical sacred place, and is completely, inarguably proven to be the location of the LORD’s tomb. It was a site of pilgrimage from that first Good Friday, when people came to pray there, to this day. Emperor Hadrian was so put out about it that he built a pagan temple over it, leveling nearby Calvary and enclosing that as well. (The sepulcher was only a short distance away, as scripture says.) When Constantine became emperor, he sent his mother Helena to oversee the building of a church there, and the recovery of other sacred objects, including the authentic cross, which was found laid in a chamber beneath the sepulcher, as the local people had always said. The titulus was still nailed to the cross. Our LORD’s blood is in the rock there. For some, it is important to see and touch such things, but also important to have physical proof for those who do not believe, such as Muslims. See holysepulcre.custodia.org and the wonderful book Witnesses to Mystery from Ignatius Press.

Christ died for our sins on Passover, in accordance with the scriptures. Not Good Friday.

That was part of Paul’s first importance of the gospel to the Corinthians.

It isn’t an accident some ‘false goddess day’ is substituted for the real day, but Truth will set us free..
