...there is one other story I've heard about in regards to Easter.

Supposedly there was a god who sent his son to live among and teach humans in an attempt to lead them to salvation.

But the people doubted his identity despite the many miracles he performed and they later betrayed him. In the end, the son was falsely accused and slain on a cross in order to save the world from its sins.

The story goes on to suggest that he overcame death by rising three days later and ascending to heaven to be with his father.
