No, wasn't it just a few days after he died on the cross?
Sorry I am not deep into these religious stories.
I only remember something was with 40 days.

40 days is when Jesus wandered in the dessert to be tempted by the devil thus how long lent is for Christians before Easter Sunday

Me neither but that I know since it's related to Eastern, haha

Oh yes, now make sense. So he died on 24 Dec and after 40 days resuscitated?
But wait... are more than 40 days, no?
Whatever

24 Dec is Christmas (birth of Jesus). Eastern is just a weekend. He died on Friday and got back up after 3 days. What you mean with 40 days seems to be this:
As Jesus was taken from the cross and lovingly prepared for burial following the customs of the Jews, His disciples wanted to protect His body from intrusion or harm. They wrapped His body with fresh linen, and a great stone was rolled into place to seal the doorway of the tomb (see Matt. 27:57–60). Three days later Jesus emerged victorious over death from the tomb. For the next 40 days He taught and ministered to His disciples in what must have been an intensely powerful experience, preparing them for His Ascension into heaven.
