Morphology

Resurrection + of + Jesus

The phrase is directly compositional: 'resurrection' (rising from the dead) applied to the proper name 'Jesus' yields the event described, so a learner who knows both words can infer the meaning. The preposition 'of' simply links the noun and the referent, and many languages use an equivalent construction, making the meaning transparent for B1 learners.

Etymology

Resurrection of Jesus is the Christian belief that Jesus 'rose from the dead' on the third day after his crucifixion. The strong image of a man coming back to life helps explain why Christians see it as a sign of 'new life' and hope, and why they celebrate it at 'Easter'.
