A. 復活節的英文介紹
The Easter we celebrate today is a combination1 of different traditions. Partly, it comes from old festivals2 to celebrate Spring. And partly it comes from the Christian celebration of the rebirth3 of Jesus Christ.Most people agree that the word 「Easter」 comes from the Anglo-Saxon4 Goddess Eastre, a symbol of Spring. It is easy to see how 「Eastre time」 became 「Easter time」.As a chief Christian festival, Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the 1st day of Spring. It can be as early as March 22, or as late as April 25! Many dates of the Christian5 calendar are dependent on Easter.The celebrations of Easter have many customs and legends that have nothing to do with Christianity6. Of all the symbols associated7 with Easter, the egg, the symbol of richness8 and new life, is the most important. The customs and traditions of using eggs have been associated with Easter for centuries.Originally, Easter eggs were painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring and were used in Easter-egg rolling contests or given as gifts. After they were colored and printed with various designs, the eggs were exchanged by lovers and romantic admirers. In the Middle Ages, eggs were traditionally given at Easter to the servants. In Germany, eggs were given to children along with other Easter gifts.
當今世人所慶祝的復活節實際上融合了多種古老的傳統。它一部分來自古老的迎春佳節，一部分源於基督徒紀念耶穌基督復活的儀式。多數人認為「復活節」一詞源於盎格魯撒克遜人所信奉的女神EASTRE，她是春天的象徵。這樣，就不難理解「女神EASTRE的節日」如何演變為現今「EASTER」一詞了。復活節是重要的基督教節日，每年春分(3月21日)過後，第一次月圓後的第一個星期日就是復活節。它的具體時間可早在3月22日，亦可晚至4月25日。基督教教歷的許多重要日子都與復活節的具體日期有關。復活節節慶活動的許多習俗與傳說都與基督教無關。在所有與復活節有關的象徵性事物中，復活節彩蛋最為重要，它象徵著富饒與新生。涉及彩蛋的習俗與傳統成為復活節節慶活動的組成部分，已有數百年的歷史。起初，復活節彩蛋被塗上鮮艷的色彩，象徵春天的陽光，並被用於滾彩蛋比賽或作為饋贈的禮物。戀人們和迷戀浪漫的人們將彩蛋塗上色彩並繪成各式圖案後相互交換。中世紀，主人習慣在復活節將彩蛋賜予僕人。在德國，大人們將彩蛋連同其它復活節禮物一起送給孩子們。

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 ring 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 ring 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. Alts are allowed only when accompanied by children!
Traditionally, many celebrants （司儀神父） 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.
復活節是最古老最有意義的基督教節日之一。它慶祝的是基督的復活，世界各地的基督徒每年都要舉行慶祝。復活節還象徵重生和希望。時間是春分月圓後的第一個星期日。
復活節是基督教紀念耶穌復活的節日。傳說耶穌被釘死在十字架上，死後第三天復活升天。每年在教堂慶祝的復活節指的是春分月圓後的第一個星期日，如果月圓那天剛好是星期天，復活節則推遲一星期。因而復活節可能在3月22日至4月25日之間的任何一天。
典型的復活節禮物跟春天和再生有關系：雞蛋、小雞、小兔子、鮮花，特別是百合花是這一季節的象徵。復活節前夕，孩子們為朋友和家人給雞蛋著色打扮一番。這些蛋有的煮得很老，有的只是空空的蛋殼。復活節那天早上，孩子們會發現床前的復活節籃子里裝滿了巧克力彩蛋、復活節小兔子、有絨毛的小雞及娃娃玩具等。據說復活節兔子會將彩蛋藏在室內或是草地里讓孩子們去尋找。一年一度的美國白宮滾彩蛋活動經常被電視台實況轉播。
在多數西方國家裡，復活節一般要舉行盛大的宗教遊行。遊行者身穿長袍，手持十字架，赤足前進。他們打扮成基督教歷史人物，唱著頌歌歡慶耶穌復活。如今節日遊行已失去往日濃厚的宗教色彩。節日遊行洋溢著喜慶的氣氛，具有濃烈的民間特色和地方特色。在美國，遊行隊伍中即有身穿牛仔服踩高蹺的小丑，也有活潑可愛的卡通人物米老鼠。在英國，遊行多以介紹當地的歷史和風土人情為主，遊行者化裝成為蘇格蘭風笛樂隊以及皇宮衛士，吸引了眾多的遊客。復活節的到來還使人們紛紛換上新衣。過去基督教教徒會在節前去教堂行洗禮，然後穿上自己的新袍，慶祝基督的新生。穿戴一新的習俗保留至今，因為人們認為節日里不穿新衣是要倒運的。復活節期間，人們還喜歡徹底打掃自己的住處，表示新生活從此開始。
德國政府規定復活節休息兩天。在節日里，家人團聚，品嘗各種傳統食品，親戚朋友見面要互相祝賀。象徵生命的蛋、火、水、兔等成了復活節的吉祥物。雞蛋和兔子在西方是新的生命和興旺發達的象徵。雞蛋的本色象徵太陽，把雞蛋染成紅色則象徵生活幸福。在復活節中，父母要特地為孩子們准備製成雞蛋、兔子形狀的巧克力糖。親友間要互贈彩蛋。在萊茵河中游和黑森東部的一些城鎮，至今保留著「彩蛋樹」這一古老習俗。人們把成百的蛋殼塗上彩畫，串成蛋鏈，在復活節這天掛在松樹上，製成彩蛋樹，大人孩子圍著彩蛋樹唱歌、跳舞、慶祝復活節。而阿爾卑斯山的姑娘們則通過贈送紅雞蛋來表達自己的愛情。在復活節這天，姑娘如果向某一小夥子贈送三個紅雞蛋，表示姑娘向小夥子求愛。關於兔子成為復活節的吉祥物，是有一段傳說的。
在古代耶穌復活之日，正值斯堪的納維亞地區居民慶祝大地回春的「春太陽節」，作為草原、森林動物中多產動物之一的兔子，它象徵了春天的復甦和新生命的誕生，同時它又是愛神阿弗洛狄特的寵物，也是日爾曼土地女神霍爾塔的持燭引路者。因此，現在兔子作為給孩子們送復活節雞蛋的使者，深受孩子的寵愛。'在復活節這一天孩子定會收到兔形禮物。 火不僅給人類帶來了光明，也使大地獲得了新生。作為耶穌再生的象徵，復活節的許多活動都與火相關。
復活節這一天，人們在教堂前點燭以示聖化，並將聖燭迎進千家萬戶。這一天，孩子們最快樂的事是把聖火送到各家。他們在教堂前用聖火點燃樹枝，然後奔跑著送到各家各戶，其間充滿著歡快的節日氣氛。在德國的巴伐利亞地區，每年的復活節居民們都要舉行火炬賽跑，以慶祝耶穌的再生。而北萊茵上威斯特法倫州的呂克台復活節滾火輪更是遠近聞名。六個巨型大木輪被火點燃滾下山谷，就像六個火球從天而降，漆黑的山谷被大火輪照得通明，它與五彩繽紛的焰火交相輝映，再次顯示了火給人類帶來了新生。
作為德國惟一的少數民族索布族人則是用百騎大合唱的形式來慶祝耶酥的復活。一個個身穿黑色上衣、頭戴黑色禮帽的索布族人，騎在用綵帶、鮮花和白色貝殼裝飾的駿馬上，浩浩盪盪地行進在林間小路上。他們邊走邊用粗獷雄厚的嗓音高唱贊歌，場面十分壯觀。
復活節與食物
在歐洲，因為有四旬期(復活節前40天)的守齋的緣故，在每次復活節用餐前，都先予以祝聖；因此第七世紀時，就有祝聖羔羊的記載出現了，之後又多了油脂和火腿的祝聖。
其實四旬節守齋是禁止吃蛋類的。到了十二世紀，才開始有雞蛋的祝聖；因此在復活節時，天主教徒會把蛋塗成紅色，請神父祝聖，自己也用作禮物送給朋友，這是為什麼現在復活節都要送彩蛋的最早起源。
除了雞蛋外，還有其它食品，如奶油、乳酪、麵包等的祝聖。在禮儀改革前的聖教典禮中，仍保留了羔羊、蛋、麵包的祝聖經文。
在歐洲許多國家，復活主日的主餐均食羔羊肉，因為在祝聖羔羊時，可讓人紀念摩西借著羔羊的血，領導以色列人出埃及，而這羔羊(後來稱為逾越節的羔羊)是耶穌的預表：他是上帝的聖潔羔羊，藉他在十字架上所留的血，使人類得以洗凈罪，脫離魔鬼的奴役。
蛋也象徵春天及新生命的開始。到了基督徒的時代，更賦予了一層宗教意義：象徵耶穌復活走出石墓。
而麵包則使基督徒們想到耶穌是永生的活糧。在歐洲許多國家中，復活節通常會另外烤制特別的復活節麵包，麵包上畫有基督耶穌的字樣、十字架，或羔羊的圖案等，以紀念基督。
復活節島與復活節
在煙波浩渺的南太平洋上，有一個面積僅為165平方公里的小島－－復活節島，它以神秘的巨石人像和奇異的風情吸引著無數遊人。復活節島是智利的一個小島，距智利本土3600多公里。據說，1722年荷蘭探險家雅可布·洛吉文（Jabbo Roggeween）在南太平洋上航行探險，突然發現一片陸地。他以為自己發現了新大陸，趕緊登陸，結果上岸後才知道是個海島。正巧這天是復活節（1722年4月5），於是就將這個無名小島命名為復活節島。1888年，智利政府派人接管該島，說來也巧，這天又正好是復活節。

F. 中英文的介紹復活節的由來和相關故事
它是紀念耶穌基督復活的節日,西方信基督教的國家都過這個節.
至於它在哪一天?不講不知，如果你手上有一本比較舊版的英文字典，（例如：由牛津大學出版社於 1963 年出版的《現代高級英漢雙解辭典》）那麼你就可以發現，字典中 「Easter」（即復活節）一條已經清楚地寫出了對復活節日期的有關規定，它是這樣寫的：「復活節，在三月二十一日或該日後月圓以後第一個星期日。」（英文原句為：「Easter, anniversary of the Resurrection of Christ, observed on the first Sunday after a full moon on or after 21 March.」）（注）原來，復活節那一天，是經由三個歷法合並出來的，怪不得它會如此飄忽不定了！
復活節和聖誕節一樣，是外來的節日。
《聖經·新約全書》記載，耶穌被釘死在十字架上，第三天身體復活，復活節因此得名。復活節是基督宗教最重大的節日，重要性超過聖誕節，宗教起源與節期在歐美各國。按《聖經·馬太福音》的說法，耶穌基督在十字架上受刑死後三天復活，因而設立此節。根據西方教會的傳統，在春分節（3月21日）當日見到滿月或過了春分見到第一個滿月之後，遇到的第一個星期日即為復活節。東方教會則規定，如果滿月恰好出現在這第一個星期日，則復活節再推遲一周。因此，節期大致在3月22日至4月25日之間。
關於耶穌基督之死，按基督教教義，是為了贖世人的罪；耶穌基督的身體復活，是為了叫信徒得到永生。因此，在基督宗教中，復活節具有極度重要偉大的意義。
英國大部分節日都起源於宗教。復活節發生在過了春分月圓後的第一個星期日，原是紀念西亞異教神明巴力的同父異母妹妹亞斯塔路降生的日子，亞斯塔路也是巴力的情婦。相傳巴力得知妹妹亞斯塔路生於一枚天鵝蛋中，就去灌木中尋找；找到了，就抱在懷里孵化出了一隻兔子；兔子長大後成了一個美女，和巴力同居，後來在巴力危難之際還救過巴力一命。英語單詞Easter的詞源就是亞斯塔路。
而現在對大多數人來說，復活節只是一個人們享受美好春光的普通節日。對於孩子們來說，沒有比復活節彩蛋或巧克力蛋更重要的了。 復活節早上，有的家裡把早餐用的蛋分放在幾個盛有不同顏色的植物染料的鍋里煮，這樣端上來的蛋不再是白色或淺棕色的，而是黃色或粉紅色，藍色或綠色的。當然，染料是不會滲透到蛋殼里去的。
聖誕節一過，復活節巧克力蛋便在糖果店裡擺出來了。那些最小和花樣最簡單的很便宜，孩子們用自己的零花錢就可以買下來。這段時期上市的彩蛋有兩種。小的一種叫方旦糖，長一英寸多一點，外面是一層薄薄的巧克力，裡面是又甜又軟的面團，然後再用彩色的錫箔紙包裝成各種形狀。另外一種是空蛋，稍為大一點，一般比鴨蛋還大一點。裡面什麼也沒有，只是包著一個巧克力外殼。只需打碎外殼，吃巧克力片。 復活節臨近時，糖果店的櫥窗里會擺滿比這些更精美的彩蛋。同時還有各種各樣的用來吸引孩子們的小禮物出售。上面裝飾有毛絨絨的羊毛做的小雞，小雞的嘴和腳都粘在卡片上。幸運的孩子可能從親友那兒得到好幾種這樣的禮物。
復活節彩蛋是為了給人們帶來快樂--確實如此！這些彩蛋精美漂亮且富有裝飾性，它們代表著人們的美好心願，並與你分享季節更替的喜悅。
過去，在多數西方國家裡，復活節一般要舉行盛大的宗教遊行。遊行者身穿長袍，手持十字架，赤足前進。他們打扮成基督教歷史人物，唱著頌歌歡慶耶穌復活。如今節日遊行已失去往日濃厚的宗教色彩。節日遊行洋溢著喜慶的氣氛，具有濃烈的民間特色和地方特色。在美國，遊行隊伍中即有身穿牛仔服踩高蹺的小丑，也有活潑可愛的卡通人物米老鼠( Micky )。在英國，遊行多以介紹當地的歷史( history )和風土人情為主，遊行者化裝成為蘇格蘭風笛樂隊以及皇宮衛士，吸引了眾多的遊客( tourist )。復活節的到來還使人們紛紛換上新衣。過去基督教教徒會在節前去教堂行洗禮，然後穿上自己的新袍，慶祝基督的新生。穿戴一新的習俗保留至今，因為人們認為節日里不穿新衣是要倒運的。復活節期間，人們還喜歡徹底打掃自己的住處，表示新生活從此開始。
節日期間，人們按照傳統習俗把雞蛋煮熟後塗上紅色，代表天鵝泣血，也表示生命女神降生後的快樂；大人孩子三五成群地聚在一處，用彩蛋作游戲；他們把彩蛋放在地上或土坡上滾，最後破裂者即為獲勝，勝利者可以得到所有游戲者的彩蛋。該活動非常普通，即使是白宮，也要在復活節中組織這種游戲，不過這里是將彩蛋放在草坪上滾；人們相信，彩蛋在地上來回滾動可以使惡魔不斷驚顫、倍受煎熬。這種風俗歷史悠久，雞蛋是復活節的象徵，因為它預示著新生命的降臨，相信新的生命一定會從中沖脫出世。
復活節的另一象徵是小兔子,原因是它具有極強的繁殖能力,人們視它為新生命的創造者.節日中,成年人會形象生動地告訴孩子們復活節彩蛋會孵化成小兔子.許多家庭還會在花園草坪里放些彩蛋,讓孩子們玩找彩蛋的游戲.復活節小兔和彩蛋也成為節日期間搶手的商品.商場出售各式各樣的小兔和彩蛋狀商品,還在小小的食品店和糖果店擺滿了用巧克力製成的小兔和彩蛋,這些"食品小兔"神態可愛,彩蛋形狀不一,吃起來味道香甜,送給朋友也很適宜。
復活節中美國人的食品也很有特點,多以羊肉和火腿為主.據 傳說,有一次上帝為考驗亞伯拉罕的忠誠之心,命令他把獨生子以撒殺掉作祭品,亞伯拉罕萬分痛苦,最後,他還是決定按上帝的旨意去做.就在他舉刀砍向兒子的一瞬,上帝派天使阻止了他.亞伯拉罕便將一隻公羊為祭獻給了上帝.以後,用羊作祭品祭祀上帝就成了該節的習俗.吃火腿的習慣,據說是英國移民帶入的.當初,英國人用吃火腿表示對猶太人禁忌肉食品內含血的蔑視；今天,已發展成復活節的傳統食物.不過，現在人們在復活節期間經常吃復活節罐頭
G. 復活節的由來 中英文對照 簡略
復活節（主復活日）是一個西方的重要節日，在每年春分月圓之後第一個星期日。基督徒認為，復活節象徵著重生與希望，為紀念耶穌基督於公元30到33年之間被釘死在十字架之後第三天復活的日子。根據聖經·新約全書記載，耶穌被釘死在十字架上，第三天身體復活，復活節因此得名。
復活節是基督宗教最重大的節日，重要性超過聖誕節，宗教起源與節期在以色列。按《聖經·馬太福音》的說法，耶穌基督在十字架上受刑死後三天復活，因而設立此節。歷史學家根據《聖經》和先進以色列人逾越節的日期，推算出在春分日（3月21日）之後月滿後的第一個星期天就是《聖經》中講到耶穌復活的日子。由於每年的春分日都不固定，所以每年的復活節的具體日期也是不確定的。但節期大致在3月22日至4月25日之間。
關於耶穌基督之死，按基督教教義，是為了贖世人的罪；耶穌基督的身體復活，是為了叫信徒得到永生。因此，在基督宗教中，復活節具有極度重要偉大的意義。
英國大部分節日都起源於宗教。復活節發生在過了春分月圓後的第一個星期日，原是紀念西亞異教神明巴力的同父異母妹妹亞斯塔路降生的日子，亞斯塔路也是巴力的情婦。相傳巴力得知妹妹亞斯塔路生於一枚天鵝蛋中，就去灌木中尋找；找到了，就抱在懷里孵化出了一隻兔子；兔子長大後成了一個美女，和巴力同居，後來在巴力危難之際還救過巴力一命。英語單詞Easter的詞源就是亞斯塔路。
H. 復活節英文簡介
Easter (Greek: ∏άσχα) is the most important annual religious feast in the Christian liturgical year.[1] According to Christian scripture, Jesus was resurrected from the dead on the third day from his crucifixion. Christians celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day or Easter Sunday[2] (also Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday), two days after Good Friday and three days after Maundy Thursday. The chronology of his death and resurrection is variously interpreted to be between 26 and 36 AD. Easter also refers to the season of the church year called Eastertide or the Easter Season. Traditionally the Easter Season lasted for the forty days from Easter Day until Ascension Day but now officially lasts for the fifty days until Pentecost. The first week of the Easter Season is known as Easter Week or the Octave of Easter. Easter also marks the end of Lent, a season of fasting, prayer, and penance.
Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the vernal equinox.[3] Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March. The date of Easter therefore varies between 22 March and 25 April. Eastern Christianity bases its calculations on the Julian Calendar whose 21 March corresponds, ring the twenty-first century, to 3 April in the Gregorian Calendar, in which calendar their celebration of Easter therefore varies between 4 April and 8 May.
Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover not only for much of its symbolism but also for its position in the calendar.
Relatively newer elements such as the Easter Bunny and Easter egg hunts have become part of the holiday's modern celebrations, and those aspects are often celebrated by many Christians and non-Christians alike. There are also some Christian denominations who do not celebrate Easter.

名稱來源
復活節名稱乃自教會拉丁語的「Pascha」轉換而來（由於pascua（nourriture，食物）一詞的影響，從pascere（paître，餵食、放養）這個拉丁動詞里來的）。
原本是從希臘語里的πάσχα（páskha）借用而來，這個希臘詞本身則是從希伯來語פסח（Pessa'h，超越[par-dessus由…之上]）里借用的，源自passage（過路/道），即指猶太人的逾越節，這詞同時含有紀念當年以色列人出埃及的意義。
根據聖經福音記載，在這個猶太節期間，耶穌基督復活了；這是為什麼這個名稱被用在基督徒的節日上。
根據《牛津詞典》和其他一些文章（比如Francis X. Weiser的「Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs」），英文Easter這個字與猶太人的逾越節這個字有關，這不僅因為耶穌就是逾越節的羔羊，而且在時間上耶穌基督的復活和逾越節也吻合。
在很多歐洲的語言里，不僅逾越節的筵席曾稱為Easter，而且早期英文聖經譯本中用Easter譯逾越節。
