ἀνάστασις
anástasis
resurrection
Rising, standing up, or being raised. In most Koine sources, especially the New Testament and Second Temple literature, the primary lexical sense is the act of standing up or rising, particularly from death—a return from a state of physical death to life (resurrection). In some literary and philosophical contexts, ἀνάστασις may be used more generally for personal recovery, moral renewal, or the rise of a group (e.g., of a city or people) from a state of decline.
