What are some well - known resurrection stories in different religions?

In Christianity, a central name associated with the resurrection story is Jesus. His resurrection is a fundamental tenet of the faith.

One of the so - called modern day resurrection stories is that of a boy who was in a drowning accident and was clinically dead for a short time but was revived. However, this was more of a case of successful resuscitation by medical professionals rather than a true resurrection. Another is the story of a woman who had a heart attack and was 'dead' for a few minutes before being brought back, but again, it was due to medical intervention.

One from Judaism. A rabbi was so engrossed in his study that he walked out of the synagogue with his tallit (prayer shawl) still on and it got caught on a fence post. He didn't even notice until a child pointed it out and everyone had a good laugh.

In Christianity, God is seen as the eternal and all - powerful creator. He exists outside of time and space and created the universe and everything in it out of nothing. In Greek mythology, the origin of the gods often involves chaos giving birth to primordial deities like Gaia (the earth) and Uranus (the sky), and from their union and subsequent generations, the other gods came to be.

A funny Christian story is about Noah's Ark. Imagine trying to get all those animals on the ark in an orderly fashion! The thought of two of every kind of animal - from the tiniest insects to the largest elephants - all lining up and boarding the ark is quite a comical image. It also shows God's great plan and Noah's faith in following it.

Another success story is Canada's environmental conservation efforts. Canada has vast wilderness areas, such as the Canadian Rockies. The government and various conservation organizations have been working hard to protect these areas. They have established national parks and implemented strict environmental protection regulations. This not only preserves the unique ecosystems but also promotes ecotourism, which is beneficial for both the environment and the economy.

In Indian culture, the feet of deities are often worshiped. For example, the feet of Lord Vishnu are considered very sacred. Devotees believe that by offering prayers and prostrating before the deity's feet, they can receive blessings. It's a significant part of religious worship.

From Italy, there's the story of La Befana. She is an old woman who, like Baboushka, was visited by the Wise Men. They asked for directions to Bethlehem. She initially refused to go with them. Later, she regretted it and now on Epiphany (January 6th), which is also part of the Christmas season in Italy, she flies around on her broomstick leaving gifts for children, especially coal for naughty ones. This story has been passed down through generations in Italy.

A Jewish true story is about Moses. God chose Moses to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. Moses faced many challenges, like dealing with Pharaoh's resistance. But with God's help, he performed miracles, such as the parting of the Red Sea. His story is a central part of the Torah and shows the power of faith and divine intervention.
