　　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 （復活）. 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.

　　Festival Development Broadcast

　　In the early days, the church used it to replace the Jewish Passover. Some churches began to hold commemorative activities on the 14th day of the month of Nisa in the Jewish calendar; In 325, the Nicene Conference established Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon at the vernal equinox. In 1582, Western Europe switched to the Gregorian calendar (also known as the Gregorian calendar). Some Eastern churches still use the Julian calendar, so Easter is usually one or two weeks or even five weeks later than Catholicism and Protestantism. During the festival, people exchange Easter eggs as a symbol of life and prosperity. Due to the uncertainty of the vernal equinox every year, the specific date of Easter is also uncertain. But the holiday period is roughly between March 22nd and April 25th.

　　Festival Symbol Broadcast

　　The festival symbols of Easter include Easter eggs and Easter rabbits.

　　Easter eggs

　　During the festival, people cook eggs and color them red according to traditional customs, representing the blood of swans and the joy of the birth of the goddess of life. Adults and children gather in groups of three or five to play games with colored eggs. They roll the eggs on the ground or on a soil slope, and the winner wins. The winner can receive all the players' colored eggs. This event is very popular, and the White House in the United States also organizes this game during Easter. People believe that rolling eggs back and forth on the ground can make demons constantly tremble and suffer greatly. This custom has a long history, and the egg is used as a symbol of Easter because it heralds the arrival of new life, and people believe that new life will definitely emerge from it.

　　Easter Bunny

　　Another symbol of Easter is the little rabbit, which has a strong reproductive ability and is regarded as the creator of new life. During holidays, adults vividly tell children that Easter eggs will hatch into little rabbits. Many families also place colored eggs in their garden lawns for children to play the game of finding colored eggs. Easter eggs and bunnies have also become popular products during the holiday season.

　　In addition, lilies are the mainstream flower during Easter.
