複活節是一個西方的重要節日，在每年春分月圓之後第一個星期日。基督徒認為，複活節象征着重生與希望，為紀念耶稣基督于公元30到33年之間被釘死在十字架之後第三天複活的日子。複活節有哪些風俗呢？

1、活彩蛋

蛋象征新生命。堅硬的蛋殼無法限制裡面正在孕育的新生命。耶稣基督為了我們的罪而釘死在十字架上，葬在墳墓裡，但墳墓無法關住他。他第三天複活了，使凡相信他的人，因此而得到新的生命。蛋，便成為複活節常用的象征物之一。蛋乃意味着春天的到來及新生命的誕生，并象征着耶稣從死裡複活走出石墓。

Easter eggs are special eggs that are often given to celebrate Easter or springtime.The egg is apagan symbol of the rebirth of the Earth in celebrations of spring and was adopted by early Christians as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus.

2、複活兔(邦尼兔)

依據歐洲古老的傳說，野兔是一種終日不閉眼的動物。它們能在黑夜裡，觀看四周其它的動物，因此，野兔就代表着黑夜中一輪皎潔的明月。再加上複活節日子的計算是以春天月圓為基準于是就将春天繁殖力強的野兔視為複活節的一個象征。這習俗傳入美國後，美國人還為兔子取了一個可愛的名字，叫它複活節的邦尼兔!

The Easter Bunny or Easter Hare is a character depicted as a rabbit bringing Easter eggs, who sometimes is depicted with clothes. In legend, the creature brings baskets filled with colored eggs, candy and sometimes also toys to the homes of children of Christmas, as they both bring gifts to children on the night before their respective holiday.

3、百合花

百合花象征神聖與純潔。人們喜愛以在春天、複活節左右盛開的百合花來代表耶稣基督的聖潔。另外，形狀像喇叭的百合花，也像是正大聲宣揚耶稣基督複活的好消息。

Lily stands for the holiness and purity. Flowers blooming near the Easter Day seem to tell us the good news that Jesus has resurrected from the death.

4、十字架、釘子

複活節那天，有許多人會将煮熟的蛋用顔料畫上與複活節相關的圖案。例如：十字架、釘子、百合花、兔子等等，裝飾的五彩缤紛。然後互相交換，提醒耶稣的複活。也有人喜歡玩尋找彩蛋的遊戲，大人先将彩蛋藏在花園草叢中，讓小朋友們去找。找到彩蛋的人，就要說出蛋上圖案的意義。比如說，十字架是耶稣為我們死在十字架上，釘子則是提醒我們耶稣基督被釘子釘在十字架上。

The Christian cross, seen as a representation of the instrument of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, is the best-known religious symbol of Christianity. It is related to the crucifix (a cross that includes a usually three-dimensional representation of Jesus‘ body) and to the more general family of cross symbols.

5、複活節鐘聲

在法國及意大利，除了受難節的前一天起一連四天，複活節鐘聲全年随處可聞，沒有鐘聲是要提醒我們耶稣的死， 鐘聲在複活節主日會重鳴，提醒我們耶稣基督已複活。

Easter bell can be heared everywhere throughout the year except Good Friday and 3 days afterwards, on the Easter Day, the bell can be reheared, symbolizing that Jesus has resurrected from the death.
