复活节
as with almost all christian
holidays, easter has been
secularized
and
commercialized. the
dichotomous nature of easter and its
symbols, however, is not necessarily a
modern fabrication.
和其它基督教节日一样，复活节正慢慢
“
被世俗
”
和
“
被商业
”
。即便
如此，复活节的这两个性质和它的标
志并不是必然的
“
现代产物
”
。
the history of
easter
复活节的历史
since its conception as a holy celebration in the
second
century, easter has had its non-
religious side. in fact, easter
was
originally a pagan festival.
“
复活节是神圣的庆典
”
的概念在公元
200
年已
经形成，自那时起，
复活节就站在了非宗教的一方。而事实上，最初的复活节是异教徒<
/p>
的节日。
the ancient
saxons celebrated the return of spring with an
uproarious festival commemorating their
goddess of offspring
and of springtime,
eastre. when the second-century christian
missionaries encountered the tribes of
the north with their
pagan
celebrations, they attempted to convert them to
christianity. they did so, however, in
a clandestine manner.
古撒克逊人庆祝春至时非常热闹，因为这也纪念他们祖先和春天的
“
复活
”
。在公元
20
0
年，基督教的传教士并偶然来到这个拥有异教
庆典的北方部落
。这些传教士尝试让撒克逊人改信基督教，而他们
使用的方法非常隐秘。
it would have been suicide for
the very early christian
converts to
celebrate their holy days with observances that
did
not coincide with celebrations that
already existed. to save
lives, the
missionaries cleverly decided to spread their
religious message slowly throughout the
populations by
allowing them to
continue to celebrate pagan feasts, but to do
so in a christian manner.
早期的基督教人为了庆祝他们神圣的节日而在仪式中自杀，然
而这
些仪式并没有与以前的庆祝仪式相类似。为了拯救生命，传教士略
< br>施小计，在人群中慢慢散布神明的信息，谎称神明允许人们继续庆
祝异教节日，但
是要使用基督教的方式进行庆祝。
as it
happened, the pagan festival of eastre occurred at
the
same time of year as the christian
observance of the
resurrection of
christ. it made sense, therefore, to alter the
festival itself, to make it a christian
celebration as converts
were slowly won
over. the early name, eastre, was eventually
changed to its modern spelling,
easter.
就这样，复活节在
同年出现了，而且被当作耶稣复活的基督教仪式。
因此，这个节日就慢慢被改变，渐渐转
变为基督教的一个节日。于
是，人们渐渐皈依基督教。而复活节早期的名字
eastre
，最后也被
改成流传至今的拼法
easter
。
the date of easter
复活节的日期
prior to a.d. 325, easter was
variously celebrated on different
days
of the week, including friday, saturday, and
sunday. in
that year, the council of
nicaea was convened by emperor
constantine. it issued the easter rule
which states that easter
shall be
celebrated on the first sunday that occurs after
the
first full moon on or after the
vernal equinox. however, a
caveat must
be introduced here. the full moon in the rule is
the
ecclesiastical full moon, which is
defined as the fourteenth day
of a
tabular lunation, where day 1
corresponds to the ecclesiastical new
moon. it does not
always occur on the
same date as the astronomical full moon.
the ecclesiastical vernal equinox is
always on march 21.
therefore, easter
must be celebrated on a sunday between the
dates of march 22 and april
25.
在公元
325
年之前，复活节的庆祝时间可以是一周中不同的时间，
而这些时间包括星期五、星期六和星期天。在那些年里，康斯坦丁
大帝组建了尼西亚理
事会。这个理事会制定了复活节的标准：复活
节应该在第一个满月后或是春分后的第一个
星期进行庆祝。在这里，
我们要作一下解释。在规定中所指的
“
满月
”
是基督教的满月，而
“
满
月
”
的时间定在阴历月份的第十四天，那么，这个月的
1
号
就是基督
教的
“
新月
< br>”
。由于天文满月，复活节的日期不会是每年的同一天。
另外，基督教的
“
春分
”
通常是
3
月
21
日。因此，复活节必须在
3
月
22
日
-4
月
24
日之间的其中一个星期天进行庆祝。
the lenten season
四旬斋季节
lent is
the forty-six day period just prior to easter
sunday. it
begins on ash wednesday.
mardi gras (french for fat tuesday)
is
a celebration,
sometimes
called carnival, practiced around the world, on
the
tuesday prior to ash wednesday. it
was designed as a way to
get it all out
before the sacrifices of lent began. new orleans
is
the focal point of mardi gras
celebrations in the u.s. read about
the
religious meanings of the lenten
season.
四旬斋是早期复活
节里面为期
46
天的时期。四旬斋开始于圣灰星期
三。
“
狂欢节
”
也称为
“
嘉年华
”
。在早期，它横跨星期三和圣灰星期
四，是一个全世界都进行的庆典。
在四旬斋献祭开始前，狂欢节是
一个使人身心舒畅的节日。其中，新奥尔良是美国狂欢节
的焦点。
因此，我们要好好理解四旬斋的宗教含义。
the easter bunny
复活兔
the easter
bunny is not a modern invention. the symbol
originated with the pagan festival of
eastre. the goddess,
eastre, was
worshipped by the anglo-saxons through her
earthly symbol, the rabbit.
复活兔并不是现代产物。复活兔起源于异教的复活节。当时，
耶稣
的世俗象征是一个兔子，并被盎格鲁撒克逊人供奉着。
the germans brought the symbol of the
easter rabbit to
america. it was widely
ignored by other christians until shortly
after the civil war. in fact, easter
itself was not widely
celebrated in
america until after that time.
而德国人将复活兔带到了美国。直至美国南北战争后，复活兔
才被
大多数基督教人士所重视。事实上，在这次内战结束后，复活节也
< br>未在美国被人们广泛地庆祝。
the
easter egg
复活蛋
as with the easter bunny and the holiday itself,
the easter egg
predates the christian
holiday of easter. the exchange of eggs
in the springtime is a
custom that was centuries old when
easter was first
celebrated by christia
ns.
与复活兔和复活节一样，复活蛋预示着复
活节即将到来。
当基督教徒庆祝第一个复活节后，人们开始春天互
相交换复活蛋，而这已成为了人们好几
百年的习俗。
from the
earliest
times, the egg was a symbol of rebirth in most
cultures.
eggs were often wrapped in
gold leaf or, if you were a peasant,
colored brightly by boiling them with
the leaves or petals of
certain
flowers.
在早期，复活蛋
在许多文明中象征着
“
再生
”
。人们常常用金色的叶
子包裹复活蛋，或是农民的做法：将复活蛋画得色
彩斑斓，并把它
和叶子或是真花瓣一起煮沸。
today, children hunt colored eggs and
place them in easter
baskets along with
the modern version of real easter eggs --
those made of plastic or chocolate
candy.
在今天，孩子们到处
搜刮复活蛋，并将这些蛋放到复活节篮子中。
为什么呢？因为现代的复活蛋是用软糖或巧
克力做的
复活节和圣诞节一样，
是外来的节日。《圣经
?
新约全书》记载，
耶稣被钉死在十字架上，第三天身体复活，复活节因此得名。
复活
节
<
/p>
复活节是基督宗教最重大的节日，重要性超过圣诞节，宗教起源与
节期在以色列。按《圣经
?
马太福音》的说法，耶稣基督在十字
架上
受刑死后三天复活，因而设立此节。历史学家根据《圣经》和先进
< br>以色列人逾越节的日期，推算出在春分日（
3
月
21
日）之后月满后
的第一个星期天就是《圣经
》中讲到耶稣复活的日子。由于每年的
春分日都不固定，所以每年的复活节的具体日期也
是不确定的。但
节期大致在
3
月
22
日至
4
月
25
日之间。关于耶稣基督之死，按基
督教教
义，是为了赎世人的罪；耶稣基督的身体复活，是为了叫信
徒得到永生。因此，在基督宗
教中，复活节具有极度重要伟大的意
义。英国大部分节日都起源于宗教。复活节发生在过
了春分月圆后
的第一个星期日，原是纪念西亚异教神明巴力的同父异母妹妹亚斯
塔路降生的日子，亚斯塔路也是巴力的情妇。相传巴力得知妹妹
亚斯塔路生于一枚天鹅蛋中，就去灌木中寻找；找到了，就抱在怀
里孵
化出了一只兔子；兔子长大后成了一个美女，和巴力同居，后
来在巴力危难之际还救过巴

to christian scripture, jesus was

some
