Easter Sunday 复活节 fù huó jié
marks the day on which Jesus Christ 耶稣 yē
sū was resurrected
after his crucifixion on Good Friday 耶
稣受难日 yē sū shòu nàn rì. Today, some
Christians prefer to call this holy day "Resurrection Sunday" as
Easter 复
活节 fù huó
jié is associated with
paganism 异教徒 yì
jiào tú. The name Easter is believed to have originated
from the Saxon Spring Goddess Eostre
or Eastra. The symbol of
the spring goddess is a hare (mammal
that
looks like a big rabbit) and hence the Easter bunnies. The
exchange of eggs is part of an ancient custom and hence, the
Easter Eggs.
