------------------------------------------------- The fact of Christ’s resurrection The main sources which directly attest the fact of Christ’s Resurrection are the Four Gospels and the Epistles of St. Paul. Easter morning is so rich in incident‚ and so crowded with interested persons‚ that its complete history presents a rather complicated tableau.
