Easter Story


Easter commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the most important Christian festival, and the one celebrated with the greatest joy.

The date of Easter changes each year, and several other Christian festivals fix their dates by reference to Easter.

Churches are filled with flowers, and there are special hymns and songs. But not all Easter customs are Christian, some, such as the Easter Bunny, and the name Easter are Pagan in origin.

The Easter story is at the heart of Christianity
On Good Friday, Jesus Christ was executed by crucifixion. His body was taken down from the cross, and buried in a cave.

The tomb was guarded and an enormous stone was put over the entrance, so that no-one could steal the body.

On the following Sunday, some women visited the grave and found that the stone had been moved, and that the tomb was empty.

Jesus himself was seen that day, and for days afterwards by many people. His followers realised that God had raised Jesus from the dead.

Why do we eat easter eggs at Easter?
For Christians, Easter eggs symbolise new life. They believe that, through his resurrection, Jesus defeated death and sin and offers people the promise of eternal life if they follow his teachings. This is why there is a tradition for Christians to be baptised at Easter, which celebrates new life in God.

However, the festival of Easter stretches back to pre-Christian times, too. It gets its name and some symbols, including the Easter Bunny, from the Pagan Spring Equinox festival, which is a celebration of Spring and also of new life.

Then, who can tell the exact date of Easter? Is there any calendar like the Chinese lunar one?

No,there're no such things. But you can find holiday easily in every year's calendar.

A friend in Auckland has a habit of posting me her longest e-mail of the year on Easter. She explained that at Easter local people would lock themself indoors and reflect on the "sin" they "committed" and the shops and factories would have a day off. And according to her observation, it rained almost every Easter there, and she kept wondering whether it were tears...
Hostess, is it the same case in Canada?
