Resurrection
___________________
In Islam and Christianity, the raising of the dead on the Day of Judgement. Bahá'ís interpret this event spiritually as the coming of the Manifestation of God.
 
As to the resurrection of Christ, 'Abdu'l-Bahá has explained its meaning: 'the disciples were troubled and agitated after the martyrdom of Christ. The Reality of Christ, which signifies his teachings, his bounties, his perfections, and his spiritual power, was hidden and concealed for two or three days after his martyrdom, and was not resplendent and manifest . . . The Cause of Christ was like a lifeless body; and, when after three days the disciples became assured and steadfast, and began to serve the Cause of Christ, and resolved to spread the divine teachings, putting his counsels into practice, and arising to serve him, the Reality of Christ became resplendent and his bounty appeared; his religion found life, his teachings and his admonitions became evident and visible.'13
[BD 195]
