复活节的由来故事
圣诞老人的由来【篇一：复活节的来历】
时间：中国传统节气春分后的第一个星期日，如果当天刚好是满月，才再往后推迟一周。因此，复活节可能在阳历中3月22日至4月25日之间的任何一天。
复活节是春天里一个特别的节日，它是基督教的节日，在四月中一个特别的星期日庆祝。耶稣的受难日是星期五，三天以后，也就是在受难日后的星期日，耶稣复活了。
现在，基督徙会在复活节当天上教堂，参加特殊的仪式。他们唱歌并祷告。基督徒思考着死后在天堂里的情形，那真是个非常喜乐的日子。
鲜花、鲜蛋、兔子、羔羊以及火鸡都是复活节的象征物。这些都象征着崭新的生活。
各国庆祝复活节的方式
在某些城市里，人们会穿上鲜艳的新衣参加复活节游行。
瑞典：在瑞典人看来，复活节不仅是耶稣复活的日子，也是春天复活的时刻。经过漫长冬季的北欧人顾不上远山仍存积雪、棉衣还未下身，就兴高采烈地把五颜六的羽毛和缤纷亮丽的彩蛋挂得满世界都是。彩的羽毛象征茁壮成长的小鸡。瑞典过复活节时花还未开，所以爱美的瑞典人用彩的羽毛代替鲜花，也将复活节装扮得五颜六。另外，除了鸡蛋和羽毛外，瑞典人过复活节时还能见到“女巫”的影子。人们常在树上或住宅的一角看到骑着扫帚的小巫婆木偶。此习俗源于古老的民间传说：复活节前一周是女巫法力最强时候，期间，女巫坐在扫帚上，前面挂个水壶，后面坐一只黑猫，趁着黑夜飞到山上与精灵们欢庆跳舞。
意大利：除了受难节的前一天起一连四天，复活节钟声全年随处可闻，钟声在复活节主日会重鸣，提醒耶稣基督已复活。
德国：政府规定复活节休息两天。在节日里，家人团聚，品尝各种传统食品，亲戚朋友见
面要互相祝贺。 象征生命的蛋、火、水、兔等成了复活节的吉祥物。在复活节中，父母要特地为孩子们准备制成鸡蛋、兔子形状的巧克力糖。亲友间要互赠彩蛋。
英国：复活节这一天，面包店都会卖十字面包（hot cross buns）纪念耶稣；每年也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。
美国纽约：举行复活节时装游行。根据美洲的传统，复活节兔子会在复活节那天的早晨给乖孩子一篮子的礼物（包括彩蛋和各式各样的巧克力和糖果）。有时候，孩子们会给复活节的兔子准备胡萝卜，就像给圣诞老人准备牛奶和曲奇饼一样。 在美国，人们认为兔子们会将装饰好的彩蛋或是装满了糖果或零用钱的塑料蛋偷偷藏起来，让孩子们自己去。美国的一些组织重新将这个小东西命名为?新春小兔?，为了避免原来名字中所含的宗教意义。
希腊：有的地方要举行象征性的耶稣葬礼。
匈牙利：孩子们为兔子准备巢，好让它们摆放送来的蛋，巧克力或是其他的礼物。有的时候，家长会送孩子们一只真的小兔子。

新年在11月1日，新年前夜年轻人集队，带着各种怪异面具，拎着刻好的南瓜灯游走于村落间，这在当时是一种秋收的庆典，也有说是“鬼节”。传说当年死去的人，灵魂会在万圣节的前夜造访人间，所有篝火及灯光一来为了吓走鬼魂，同时也为鬼魂照亮路线，引导其回归。每当万圣节到来，孩子们都会迫不及待地穿上五颜六的化妆服，戴上千奇百怪的面具，提着一盏“杰克灯”

母亲节
母亲节源于19世纪60年代的美国。据说当时在美国philadephia有一个小地方，人们之间关系不十分友好，经常打架。当时有一位叫mrs jarvis的女士希望改变这种状况，于是她就开创了一个“母亲友谊节”。在友谊节这天，去看望其他人的母亲，并劝她们和好如初，
mrs jarvis去世以后，她的女儿继承了她的事业，并决心建立一个纪念母亲的节日，母亲节由此得来。每逢母亲节，做儿女的会送鲜花“康乃馨”以及母亲喜欢的精美礼物，同时做父亲的会和子女包揽家务，以便母亲得到休息。

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 suise 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 c
ustom 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
christs 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
