题目内容
16.Have you ever wondered why our Easter celebrations include bunnies,brightly colored eggs,baskets filled with bite-size candy,and a banquet of ham or lamb?In fact,most of our Easter traditions are rooted in Christian faith and early religions.Here's a brief history lesson on customs.Easter Bunny(复活节兔子)
The Easter Bunny-a.k.a Osterhase(German)or Oschter Haws(Dutch)-made its U.S.debut when German and Dutch settlers arrived in colonial Pennsylvania villages during the1700s.Pre-Christian Germans honored an Anglo-Saxon goddess,Eostre,who represented the rising of a new sun season.It's believed that she had a hare as a companion that represented fertility(生育力)and rebirth.
Easter Basket
Similar to the meaning of leaving cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve,children would leave homemade nests in which the Easter Bunny could lay its colored eggs.Over time,this tradition turned into decorated Easter baskets filled with fake grass,chocolate candy and jellybcans.
Easter Eggs
Christians(基督徒)don't eat meat and eggs for 40days in preparation for spiritual update.On Easter Sunday,red colored eggs decorated tables to promote the joy of a new season and represent Jesus'blood on the cross.The colored egg tradition may also have roots in spring festivals,in which eggs were decorated,colored and exchanged as celebrations of spring.
Ham
You know block-eyed peas bring luck on New Year's Day,but what if we told you a pig had much the same effect?The pig was considered a symbol of luck in pre-Christian Europe,and early Christians were said to have continued this tradition,making it the centre of meals on significant holidays like Christmas and Easter.
If we took a poll on eating ham or lamb on Easter,we'd likely be a country divided.
