Surface Forms
Morphology
Resurrection + of + Christ
The meaning is directly compositional: 'resurrection' (rising from the dead) combined with 'of Christ' identifies who was raised, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the phrase. This noun-of-noun construction is cross-linguistically common and follows transparent, standard English composition patterns, even if the religious term may be less frequent.
Etymology
Resurrection of Christ comes from the Christian story of Christ rising from death on the third day after he was killed. Because Christ returned to life and his tomb was found empty, the phrase now means 'rising to new life' and 'hope'.
