Easter Day (趣味復活節) [ 2006-04-14 20:50 ]
“耶穌受難那天,可以說是世界上最糟糕的日子,可是三天后就是復活節了,所以,只要我們耐心等待、勇敢承受,再大的困難也能跨越……”這當然不是什么至理名言,只不過從基督教一個最為古老的節日里悟出的一點點道理。
對于中國人而言,復活節兔子、復活節彩蛋和復活節巧克力已不再是什么新奇的東東,可是,當我們在地球的另一端與西方人同聲慶祝“復活節”的時候,可曾想過所謂的受難日是在什么時候?用英文怎么表達?復活節日為什么偏要強調“春分”?以及一系列與“復活節”有關的名詞,到底是怎么回事?

Easter traditions and
origins
In pagan traditions, the name Easter originated with Eostre, a
Germanic goddess of spring. Because Eostre embodied renewal and rebirth,
the Christian belief in the resurrection of Christ fit well with these
themes.
瞧,“春之女神”抱著她的小兔子向您招手了,很難想象吧?基督教最古老最有意義的一個節日,實際上是以古代北歐的黎明女神“伊奧斯特”命名的。伊奧斯特,原意是指“冬日逝去后春天的太陽從東方升起”,由于該詞喻意“新生”,于是被基督教教徒借用,期冀“光明的恩賜者耶穌再次回到人間”。
