  On Easter morning, as the first rays of the sun lighten the sky at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the plaintive (哀伤的) sounds of trombones (长号) call the townspeople to Moravian(摩拉维亚教派) Burying Ground where they welcome the rising sun with songs of praise: Christ is risen.

  In similar ceremonies throughout the land millions of people gather on hilltops, parks, churches and open spaces to salute (致敬) another Easter dawn. There is a resurrection of hope and joy as the earth reawakens to another spring, New life emerges: young lambs, fresh green grass, and delicate (纤细的) blooms appear. Days are growing longer and there is more warmth in the sun. Birds sing and the world rings with gladness.

  One of the holiest days of Christendom (基督教教界), Easter commemorates (纪念) Christ's resurrection (复活) from the tomb where he had lain for three days following his crucifixion (钉死于十字架上) When he arose after the three days it was to fulfill his promise to rise again as proof of eternal life.

  Although Easter is based on events in the life on Christ, older traditions have influenced the customs of the festival. The name Easter itself derives from the ancient Norse (挪威人) festival of spring sun (Eastre) which celebrated the awakening of new life and the death of winter. The Christian Easter gradually replaced the pagan (异教的) festival, but some of the rites (仪式), of spring were retained since Christ’s resurrection had occurred during that season.

  Celebration of Easter by early settlers in the United States mirrored their European backgrounds. In the regions settled by those of Roman Catholic (罗马天主教) heritage (传统) Easter was observed from the beginning. But the straight-laced [古板的]Puritans in New England, still influenced by the British prohibition (禁止) against what they considered profane (亵渎的) celebrations of Christmas and Easter, did not observe either holiday.

  Easter is now celebrated throughout the country, although the customs, traceable to the different ethnic heritages, still vary with the regions. The German-Americans of Pennsylvania, for instance, preserve the custom of eating fried crullers(一种油煎饼) on Shrove Tuesday (大斋节的前一天); and those of Greek origin take part in a funeral procession following a flower- decked bier (棺材) bearing the figure of Christ.
