Dear Carrie —
There are many pagan myths of fertility gods who
die and rise. The human spirit saw
the cycle of nature, felt its own
immortality, and longed for the promise
of resurrection. It expressed this
intimation of God's plan in the mythical
stories that explained natural cycles.
However, there is only one historical
personage who died and rose. We are
as sure of the historical existence
and death of Jesus Christ as we are
of Julius Caesar. The same sources
state his Resurrection.
You and your son might enjoy this
article on the New Advent
web site on the Resurrection.
