各国复活节英文介绍
A Sunday between March 22 and April 25
The meaning of many different customs observed during Easter Sunday have been buried with time.Their origins lie in pre-Christian religions and Christianity.All in some way or another are a "salute to spring," marking re-birth.The white Easter lily has come to capture the glory of the holiday.The word "Easter" is named after Eastre,the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring.A festival was held in her honor every year at the vernal equinox （春分）.
People celebrate the holiday according to their beliefs and their religious denominations （命名）.Christians commemorate Good Friday as the day that Jesus Christ died and Easter Sunday as the day that He was resurrected （复活）.Protestant settlers brought the custom of a sunrise service,a religious gathering at dawn,to the United States.
This year Easter will be celebrated on Sunday April 11,2004.On Easter Sunday children wake up to find that the Easter Bunny has left them baskets of candy.He has also hidden the eggs that they decorated earlier that week.Children hunt for the eggs all around the house.Neighborhoods and organizations hold Easter egg hunts,and the child who finds the most eggs wins a prize.
The Easter Bunny is a rabbit-spirit.Long ago,he was called the" Easter Hare." Hares and rabbits have frequent multiple births so they became a symbol of fertility.The custom of an Easter egg hunt began because children believed that hares laid eggs in the grass.The Romans believed that "All life comes from an egg." Christians consider eggs to be "the seed of life" and so they are symbolic of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Why we dye,or color,and decorate eggs is not certain.In ancient Egypt,Greece,Rome and Persia eggs were dyed for spring festivals.In medieval Europe,beautifully decorated eggs were given as gifts.
Egg Rolling
In England,Germany and some other countries,children rolled eggs down hills on Easter morning,a game which has been connected to the rolling away of the rock from Jesus Christ's tomb when he was resurrected.British settlers brought this custom to the New World.
In the United States in the early nineteenth century,Dolly Madison,the wife of the fourth American President,organized an egg roll in Washington,D.C.She had been told that Egyptian children used to roll eggs against the pyramids so she invited the children of Washington to roll hard-boiled eggs down the hilly lawn of the new Capitol building!The custom continued,except for the years during the Civil War.In 1880,the First Lady invited children to the White House for the Egg Roll because officials had complained that they were ruining the Capitol lawn.It has been held there ever since then,only canceled during times of war.The event has grown,and today Easter Monday is the only day of the year when tourists are allowed to wander over the White House lawn.The wife of the President sponsors it for the children of the entire country.The egg rolling event is open to children twelve years old and under.Adults are allowed only when accompanied by children!
Traditionally,many celebrants （司仪神父） bought new clothes for Easter which they wore to church.After church services,everyone went for a walk around the town.This led to the American custom of Easter parades all over the country.Perhaps the most famous is along Fifth Avenue in New York City.
Good Friday is a federal holiday in 16 states and many schools and businesses throughout the U.S.are closed on this Friday.
复活节是最古老最有意义的基督教节日之一.它庆祝的是基督的复活,世界各地的基督徒每年都要举行庆祝.复活节还象征重生和希望.时间是春分月圆后的第一个星期日.
复活节是基督教纪念耶稣复活的节日.传说耶稣被钉死在十字架上,死后第三天复活升天.每年在教堂庆祝的复活节指的是春分月圆后的第一个星期日,如果月圆那天刚好是星期天,复活节则推迟一星期.因而复活节可能在3月22日至4月25日之间的任何一天.
典型的复活节礼物跟春天和再生有关系：鸡蛋、小鸡、小兔子、鲜花,特别是百合花是这一季节的象征.复活节前夕,孩子们为朋友和家人给鸡蛋着色打扮一番.这些蛋有的煮得很老,有的只是空空的蛋壳.复活节那天早上,孩子们会发现床前的复活节篮子里装满了巧克力彩蛋、复活节小兔子、有绒毛的小鸡及娃娃玩具等.据说复活节兔子会将彩蛋藏在室内或是草地里让孩子们去寻找.一年一度的美国白宫滚彩蛋活动经常被电视台实况转播.
