Morphology
Christ's + Resurrection
The phrase is compositional: 'Christ's' is a possessive marking and 'Resurrection' denotes rising from the dead, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it refers to the resurrection of Christ. While full cultural or theological significance may require background knowledge, the basic referential meaning is directly derivable and follows a standard possessive + event pattern.
Etymology
Christ's Resurrection comes from the Christian story that Jesus 'rose from the dead' on the third day after his death on the cross. In the story his tomb was found empty and his friends saw him alive, so today the phrase means that event and the promise of 'new life' celebrated at Easter.
