Risen

Returned from death

Risen is the past participle of rise, often used in religious or poetic contexts to signify resurrection or ascension.

In Christian theology, it specifically refers to Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead, as in He is risen.

The phrase is distinct from He has risen, emphasizing a state of being rather than the action itself.

Historically, “risen” has also been used in literature to describe the emergence or elevation of something, such as a risen sun or a risen leader.
