复活节的由来英文版
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.
复活节习俗
复活彩蛋
彩蛋象征新生命。坚硬的蛋壳无法限制里面正在孕育的新生命。耶稣基督为了我们的罪而钉死在十字架上,葬在坟墓里,但是坟墓无法关住他。他第三天复活了,使凡相信他的人,因此而得到新的生命。蛋,便成为复活节常用的象征物之一。蛋乃意味着春天的到来及新生命的诞生,并象征着耶稣从死里复活走出石墓。
Easter eggs are special eggs that are often given to celebrate Easter or springtime.The egg is a pagan symbol of the rebirth of the Earth in celebrations of spring and was adopted by early Christians as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus.
复活兔(邦尼兔)
根据欧洲古老的.传说,野兔是一种终日不闭眼的动物。它们能够在黑夜里,观看四周其它的动物,因此,野兔就代表着黑夜中一轮皎洁的明月。再加上复活节日子的计算是按照春天月圆为基准于是就将春天繁殖力强的野兔视为复活节的一个象征。这习俗传入美国后,美国人还为兔子取了一个可爱的名字,叫它复活节的邦尼兔!
The Easter Bunny or Easter Hare is a character depicted as a rabbit bringing Easter eggs, who sometimes is depicted with clothes. In legend, the creature brings baskets filled with colored eggs, candy and sometimes also toys to the homes of children of Christmas, as they both bring gifts to children on the night before their respective holiday.
百合花
百合花象征神圣和纯洁。人们喜爱以在春天、复活节左右盛开的百合花来代表耶稣基督的圣洁。另外,形状像喇叭的百合花,也像是正大声宣扬耶稣基督复活的好消息。
Lily stands for the holiness and purity. Flowers blooming near the Easter Day seem to tell us the good news that Jesus has resurrected from the death.
