The Resurrection - 7 Proofs Of The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ By Jack Zavada Is the resurrection of Jesus Christ an historical event that really happened, or is it only a myth, as many atheists claim?

This method consists of steeping fresh or frozen fruit in alcohol for several weeks. In the end, you end up with some “drunken fruit” (good as a dessert topping) and a flavorful alcohol that can be used to make dazzling cocktails, punch, deserts or sauces.
