【篇一】:复活节中英对照资料
中文背景【了解】
4月6日开始，加拿大人将放三天或四天长假，原因是这个星期五是Good Friday（耶稣受难日），紧接而来的是Easter Sunday（复活节） 和Easter Monday（复活节星期一），而Easter Monday 不是法定假期，大部分公司仍旧上班，学校会放假。
星期五：Good Friday
Good Friday，又称基督受难日或耶稣受难节，是为了纪念耶稣基督被钉在十字架上受难的日子，是复活节前一个星期五。据圣经记载，耶稣于犹太历尼散月十四日上午九时左右被钉在十字架上，于下午三时左右死去。耶稣唯独吩咐门徒要纪念他的死亡。教会会在这日举行受难日崇拜及拜苦路礼仪，让信徒默想基督为世人所付出的爱。
星期六：复活节前日 Easter Saturday【这个我们不需要讲= =b】
复活节前日即复活节前的星期六。在基督徒心中，是等待耶稣基督自死中复活的日子。当日罗马天主教会不举行弥撒，直到晚上才庆祝基督战胜罪恶和死亡，为人类带来救恩和希望。
星期日：复活节 Easter Day
复活节原本是古代异教的“春节”，是庆祝春回大地一切恢复生机的节日。复活节可追溯到古巴比伦的爱情、生育和战争女神“伊什塔尔”（Ishtar）。后来，此女神变成了西欧的黎明和春天女神Eastre。复活节会在每年春分月圆之后第一个星期日举行，因为春分之后便开始日长夜短——光明大过黑暗，月圆的时候，不但在日间充满光明，就连漆黑的夜晚也被光辉（月光）照耀。因此，这正好是耶稣复活——光明战胜黑暗的写照。
罗马帝国君士坦丁大帝在公元325年召开第一次尼西亚公会议，规定复活节是星期日，因星期日被教会视作为安息日，即耶稣死而复活的日子，所以复活节就在每年春分月圆后第一个星期日举行。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。比如说2006年月圆那天是4月13日（星期四），所以月圆后的第一个星期日4月16日就是复活节。2008年月圆日是3月20日，所以3月22日就是复活节。
不过自古以来，计算复活节的方法十分复杂，拉丁文Computus（计算）一字更专指计算复活节的方法，而罗马教会及东正教会的计算亦略有差异，所以东西方复活节可在不同日子出现。1997年，国际普世教会协会在叙利亚召开会议时，曾建议改革计算复活节的方式，并建议统一东西教会的复活节，但至今绝大部分国家仍没有跟随。
星期一：复活节星期一 Easter Monday
复活节星期一是基督徒们继续庆祝耶稣复活的日子，也是加拿大法定的休息日。各教堂在这一天将举办复活节仪式，基督徒们会往从教堂里取回的复活节圣水里加入香精油或是香水，然后喷在家里的家具、食物、宠物、花园等各处。同时，这一天也是家庭的节日，全家会聚在一起吃饭。复活节游戏、复活节蛋、复活节免子等也是这一天的中心。
在北美，与复活节相关的物品有复活节兔子和复活节彩蛋。
古人常把蛋视为多子多孙和复活的象征。后来基督教徒又赋予蛋新的涵义，认为它是耶稣墓的象征，未来的生命就是从其中挣脱而出世的。复活节时人们把鸡蛋染成红色，代表耶稣受难时流出的鲜血，同时也象征复活后的快乐。还有一种古老的习俗，是把煮熟的鸡蛋送给街头的孩子们做游戏，他们把蛋往前滚，谁的蛋最后破，谁就获得胜利，蛋全归他所有。还有些人喜欢在蛋上画各种各样的鬼脸或花纹。
兔子也是复活节的象征。因为兔子繁殖力很强，所以人们把它视为新生命的表现者。大人常绘声绘色地告诉孩子复活节彩蛋是兔子下的（但事实上，兔子其实是不下蛋的，所以复活节彩蛋其实都是鸡蛋），并把彩蛋放在花园里，让孩子们玩找蛋游戏。
现在每逢复活节，加拿大的各大商场或是糖果店总要出售用巧克力制成的复活节小兔和彩蛋。这些彩蛋小的和鸡蛋差不多，大的竟有甜瓜那么大，孩子们自然喜欢，送给亲戚朋友，也不失为上佳礼品。
复活节兔是复活节象征之一。作为多产动物的兔子，象征了春天的复苏和新生命的诞生。兔子是爱神阿弗洛狄特的宠物，也是日耳曼土地女神霍尔塔的持烛引路者。因此，现在兔子是作为给孩子们送复活节蛋的使者。

【篇二】:复活节由来
Easter
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. 复活节是那一天呢？
复活节是在每年春分月圆后的第一个礼拜天。
所以，每年的日期都不一样，像2003年的复活节就是4月20日，2004年的复活节是4月11日，2005年的复活节则是3月27日，而2006年的复活节则是4月16日，以此类推。
复活节的前两天，就是受难日，往往信徒会带著肃穆的心情，记念耶稣为世人的罪钉在十字架上而死。
复活节是什麼日子
很多人都知道耶诞节是庆祝耶稣降生的日子，会有礼物、庆典和欢乐。然而，却很少人晓得什麽是复活节？甚至有人会问：复活节到底该开心呢？还是要忧伤呢？看看这个故事，就知道为什麽要过复活节啦！
上帝的儿子耶稣降生在马槽裏，之后就像别的孩子一样成长。当他三十岁的时候，挑选了十二个学生，开始传道工作。三年半中，他医病、传道、赶鬼，帮助各样有需要的人，将天国的道理说给人听。一直到上帝所安排的时候到了，耶稣就被自己的门徒出卖、被官兵捉拿、被无理审问、还被钉死在十字架上、被放在坟墓裏。
耶稣的死，让许多曾经跟随他的人非常忧伤、绝望。他们所爱、所盼望的拯救者居然死了，而且死得如此悲惨。他们的希望破灭了。他们忘记耶稣曾说过：他死后第三天要复活。
在第三天清晨，有一群爱耶稣的妇女带著香膏到坟墓边。他们在那裏找不到耶稣的尸体，却遇见了天使。天使告诉他们：「他不在这裏，照他所说的，已经复活了！」
耶稣复活之后，和爱他的人共处了四十天，和他们谈论天国的事，之后才升到天上。有一次，耶稣甚至出现在五百多人聚集的场合中。因此，他的复活是证据确凿的事实。
耶稣虽然像犯人一样被钉十字架，他死并不是因为他有罪，而是要按上帝的计划替世人赎罪。
现在他从死裏复活，表示他为我们赎罪成功。任何人只要信靠他、向他认罪，就可得上帝赦免。
而耶稣的复活，代表他胜过了死亡，所以凡是信靠他的人，都有永生，就是可以永远和耶稣在一起。因为，耶稣现在仍然活著，所以他听得见我们向他的祷告，会看顾我们每天的生活，赐力量给我们，让每一天都充满了希望。
所以，复活节，是庆贺耶稣为我们复活，而且现在仍然活著，天天与我们在一起！
复活节的 象徵
百合花
百合花象徵神圣与纯洁 。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。而形状像只喇叭的百合花，也像是正大声宣扬耶稣基督复活的好消息。
复活彩蛋
蛋，象徵新生命。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徵物之一。
十字架、钉子
复活节那天，有许多人会将煮熟的蛋用颜料画上与复活节相关的图案。例如：十字架、钉子、百合花、兔子等等，装饰的五彩缤纷。然后互相交换，提醒耶稣的复活。也有人喜欢玩寻找彩蛋的游戏，大人先将彩蛋藏在花园草丛中，让小朋友们去找。找到彩蛋的人，就要说出蛋上图案的意义。比如说，十字架是耶稣为我们死在十字架上，钉子则是提醒我们耶稣基督被钉子钉在十字架上。
复活兔（邦尼兔）
依据欧洲古老的传说，野兔是一种终日不闭眼的动物，它们能在黑夜里，观看四周其它的动
物，因此，野兔就代表著那黑夜中一轮皎洁的明月。再加上复活节日子的计算是以春天月圆为基准於是就将春天繁殖力强的野兔视为 复活节的一个象徵。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呢！
