复活节的习俗中英文介绍【篇一：复活节简介(中英文)】 友归 复活节 基督教节日, 但是事实上，最初的复活节是异教徒的节日。 in fact, easter was originally a pagan festival。 the ancient saxons celebrated the return of spring with an uproarious festival commemorating their goddess of offspring and of springtime, eastre. when the second-century christian missionaries encountered the tribes of the north with their pagan celebrations, they attempted to convert them to christianity. they did so, however, in a clandestine manner。 古撒克逊人庆祝春至时非常热闹，因为这也纪念他们祖先和春天的复活。在公元200年，基督教的传教士并偶然来到这个拥有异教庆典的北方部落。这些传教士尝试让撒克逊人改信基督教，而他们使用的方法非常隐秘。 it would have been suicide for the very early christian converts to celebrate their holy days with observances that did not coincide with celebrations that already existed. to save lives, the missionaries cleverly decided to spread their religious message slowly throughout the populations by allowing them to continue to celebrate pagan feasts, but to do so in a christian manner。 与以往其他任何节日庆典都不同的是，早期的基督教人为了庆祝他们神圣的节日而在仪式中自杀。为了拯救生命，传教士略施小计，在人群中慢慢散布神明的信息，谎称神明允许人们继续庆祝异教节日，但是要使用基督教的方式进行庆祝。as it happened, the pagan festival of eastre occurred at the same time of year as the christian observance of the resurrection of christ. it made sense, therefore, to alter the festival itself, to make it a christian celebration as converts were slowly won over. the early name, eastre, was eventually changed to its modern spelling, easter。 就这样，复活节在同年出现了，而且被当作耶稣复活的基督教仪式。因此，这个节日就被慢慢被改变，渐渐转变为基督教的一个节日。于是，人们渐渐皈依基督教。而复活节早期的名字eastre，最后也被改成流传至今的拼法easter。 a.d. 325，the council of nicaea was convened by emperor constantine. it issued the easter rule which states that easter shall be celebrated on the first sunday that occurs after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox. （春分）【秋分 autumnal equinox】the ecclesiastical vernal equinox is always on march 21. （ it does not always occur on the same date as the astronomical full moon. ）therefore, easter must be celebrated on a sunday between the dates of march 22 and april 25. 公元前325年，康斯坦丁大帝组建了一个理事会，这个理事会制定了复活节的标准：复活节应该在第一个满月后或是春分后的第一个星期天进行庆祝。基督教的春分通常是3月21日，而第一个满月的时间则每年有所不同，所以复活节的日期不会是每年的同一天。通常是在3月22日-4月24日之间的其中一个星期天进行庆祝。 the easter bunny 复活兔 the symbol originated with the pagan festival of eastre. the goddess, eastre, was worshipped by the anglo-saxons through her earthly symbol, the rabbit。 复活兔起源于异教的复活节。当时，盎格鲁撒克逊人的黎明女神eostre的世俗象征是一个兔子，因此被人们所供奉。the germans brought the symbol of the easter rabbit to america. it was widely ignored by other christians until shortly after the civil war. in fact, easter itself was not widely celebrated in america until after that time。 而德国人将复活兔带到了美国。直至美国南北战争后，复活兔才被大多数基督教人士所重视。事实上，在这次内战结束后，复活节也未在美国被人们广泛地庆祝。 the easter egg 复活蛋 as with the easter bunny and the holiday itself, the easter egg predates the christian holiday of easter. the exchange of eggs in the springtime is a custom that was centuries old when easter was first celebrated by christians。与复活兔和复活节一样，复活蛋预示着圣诞节的即将到来。当基督教徒庆祝第一个复活节后，人们开始春天互相交换复活蛋，而这已成为了人们好几百年的习俗。 from the earliest times, the egg was a symbol of rebirth in most cultures. eggs were often wrapped in gold leaf or, if you were a peasant, colored brightly by boiling them with the leaves or petals of certain flowers。 在早期，复活蛋许多文明中象征着再生。人们常常用金色的叶子包裹复活蛋，或是农民的做法：将复活蛋画得色彩斑斓，并把它和叶子或是真花瓣一起煮沸。 today, children hunt colored eggs and place them in easter baskets along with the modern version of real easter eggs - those made of plastic or chocolate candy。 在今天，孩子们到处搜刮复活蛋，并将这些蛋放到复活节篮子中。为什么呢？他们只是为了复活蛋的现代意义：复活蛋是由软糖或巧克力做的【篇二：2013复活节(easter)介绍及风俗习惯】 过复活节（easter）的国家 一， 过西方教派复活节的国家： 北欧国家：冰岛、挪威、丹麦、瑞典、芬兰。 西欧国家：英国、法国、爱尔兰、比利时、荷兰、卢森堡。

复活节饰品复活节中最具代表性的吉祥物就是彩蛋和兔子了，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。 实际上，复活节期间的活动，除基督教的宗教仪式外，许多习俗都源于异教。比如：在英国，每年都要举行复活节化装游行，其间有民族风格的风笛乐队，孩子们装扮的维多利亚女皇时代的皇宫卫队等。在美国纽约，则要举行复活节时装游行。在希腊，有的地方要举行象征性的耶稣葬礼。吃复活蛋，是复活节期间最重要的、也最有趣的习俗。鸡蛋是新的生命的象征。复活节也是合家团聚，或踏青郊游的日子。在西方，不少国家都把节期定为固定假日，大学生也自这一天开始放春假。此时，正是春暖花开，万木争荣时节，不少地方几乎倾城而出，或到公园，或到野外，尽情享受节日的欢乐。
