In all the history of the world, the only conqueror of decay and death is Christ. With his sacrifice on the cross, he definitively defeated death and sin.</p> <p>The Resurrection of Christ is the foundation of the Church. The incarnation of God marks the entrance of the eternal and imperishable into history. Into a world disintegrating in rot and decay, eternity, personified in Christ, invades as the possibility of overcoming death. The Resurrection of Christ constitutes the definitive victory over death, not only as a continuation of biological life but as immortality.</p> <p>Christ is the Savior of the world and the Resurrection of mankind. </p>
