CE = Christian Era

BCE = Before the Christian Era

That's not really accurate, since the Christian Era doesn't begin with the death of Jesus- if anything, it would begin when Christianity became the dominant religion in the Empire, centuries later.

You're right. It began three days later with the resurrection, death having been conquered and the penalty of for our sin being fully paid. This was the pivotal moment in human history.
