Which Bible verse tells Christians to celebrate the Christ's resurrection that followed his assassination?

Question

Where in the Bible did Christians make a holiday out of this occurence?

Answer 1

None. Jesus commanded us to keep observing his death not resurrection, though we are very happy that happened. His death was why he came. Serving as a ransom in exchange for Adam's forfeit of his perfect life, is what is important. (Luke 22:19)

Answer 2

There is no rule on which day a person is to worship. Some may pick one and others another.....or honor all the same.

Jesus IS the resurrection. And because He rose on the first day of the week, many early Christians worshipped the Lord on that day.

John 11:25-27

25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

27 "Yes, Lord," she told him, "I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."
(from New International Version)

Answer 3

Rom 14:5-6
5. One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Let each man be fully convinced in his own mind.
6. He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God.

So, Paul makes it plain that observing *any* day, as long as it is observed "for the Lord", is permissible.

There is also this:
Rev 1:10
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet,

Thus, by the time John authored Revelation, "the Lord's Day" had become a recognized way of referring to the day on which Jesus rose from the dead. Although celebration is not specified here, recognition of that event is. It is only natural that Christians would have turned such an event into a religious celebration.

Answer 5

You need to be specifically told to celebrate the greatest event in the history of the human race??? We celebrate far less significant events without anyone telling us we must do so.
