Miracles of Easter

Matthew 27:45; 51-53

The midday darkness is the first of the miracles that happened during Jesus's crucifixion (Matthew 27:45). It is the beginning of the divine procession of signs that heralded the death of Jesus Christ. Second came a supernatural tearing from top to bottom of the curtain of the temple (v. 51a). The third was the earthquake and splitting of the rocks (v. 51b). The fourth was the opening of the graves in the vicinity (v.52). The fifth miraculous sign was the condition of the empty tomb, and the last miracle was the graves were opened and many bodies of the saints who had slept arose and came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the Holy city and appeared unto many (v. 52-53). These were the 6 miracles of Calvary, all of them linked directly to the death of Jesus Christ.
