{{notability|date=March 2018}}{{Orphan|date=November 2014}}Egersis, in medical terminology, is an extreme state of alert wakefulness, often used in the context of insomnia. This Greek word is usually translated as a rousing up, a rising, and/or an excitation.^[1]

In Christian theology it's a stand in for "Resurrection". The word "egersis" appears once in the Christian New Testament at Matthew 27:53. "Egeiro", a form of the same word meaning, appears a few times in the new testament.^[2] There has been some scholarly debate as to the exegetical interpretation of egersis with respect to the Christian resurrection.^[3]

In the theology of the ancient Greeks, the egersis was an annual festival celebrating the 'awakening' of a god/cult statue.^[4]^[5] These festivals sometimes took on a high importance. For example, Alexander the Great was prevented from making a sacrifice to Tyre's god Melqart, in part because the egersis of Melqart was supposed to happen soon.^[6] Alexander took this as a sign of disrespect and famously laid siege to the city.
