celebrate resurrection of man-god who allowed himself to be killed so he could save us, and immediately after resurrection he transformed into god-god and moved to the sky.

Man-god allowed himself to be killed to save us from the wrath of god-god. A being who was mad that the creatures he created weren't spending all day every day worshiping him exactly as he said to, after giving them the free will to do otherwise.
