Пасха - особый праздникВесь список топиков на тему «Пасха / Easter» смотрите здесь

From Scotland to the Channel, Britain is full of customs and traditions. A lot of them have very long histories. Some are funny, some are strange- But they're all interesting and are all part of the British way of life.

Easter is the time for holidays, festivals and time for giving chocolate Easter eggs, the day of parties, and above all a celebration that Jesus raised from the dead and lives forever. Eggs play an important part in Easter celebration; they are predominantly given to children. The eggs are either hollow or have a filling, and are usually covered with brightly colored silver paper.

Easter is much more than ordinary holiday. It is the oldest and the most important Christian Festival, the celebration of the death and coming Jesus Christ to life again. For Christians, the dawn of Easter Sunday with its message of new life is the high point of the year.

Easter is a feast that is not always held on the same date each year. Easter Day is celebrated on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox.

This means that Easter can fall as early as March 22 or as late as April 25.

Like most Christian festivals, Easter has its origins in pre-Christian times. Our ancestors believed that the sun died in winter and was born anew in spring. The arrival of spring was celebrated all over the world long before the religious meaning became associated with Easter. Today, Easter celebrates the rebirth of Christ.

The word Easter is thought to have derived from the goddess Eostre, an Anglo-Saxon Goddess.

Even though Easter is associated with spring here in England, it is not so in countries in the Southern Hemisphere. In these countries Easter falls near the end of autumn. However, through out the world Easter is felt to be a time of new life and new beginnings. 

Перевод:

От Шотландии до Ла Манша, Великобритания полна обычаев и традиций. Многие из них имеют очень длинную историю. Некоторые забавны, некоторые странноваты. Но все они интересные и являются частью британского образа жизни.

Пасха — это время праздников, фестивалей, время, когда дарят шоколадные пасхальные яйца, день вечеринок и больше всего это празднование воскрешения Иисуса из мертвых и его вечной жизни. Яйца играют важную роль в праздновании Пасхи, преимущественно их дарят детям. Они или полые, либо с наполнителем, часто покрываются ярко раскрашенной фольгой.

Пасха — это намного больше, чем простой праздник. Это самый древний и самый важный христианский фестиваль, празднование смерти и последующего воскрешения Иисуса Христа. Для христиан, рассвет воскресного дня Пасхи с вестью о новой жизни — самый важный момент в году.

Пасха — это праздник, который проводится не в один и тот же день в году. Пасха празднуется в первое воскресенье после первой полной луны, следующей за днем весеннего равноденствия.

Это означает, что Пасха может попасть как на 22 Марта, так и на 25 апреля.

Подобно большинству христианских фестивалей, Пасха берет свое начало с дохристианских времен. Наши предки полагали, что солнце умирало зимой и снова возрождалось весной. Наступление весны праздновалось во всем мире и прежде, задолго до того как ее религиозное значение было связанно с Пасхой. Сегодня Пасха празднует возрождение Христа.

Считается, что слово Пасха происходит от имени англосаксонской богини Эостр.

Хотя здесь, в Англии, Пасха ассоциируется с весной, в странах южного полушария это не так. В этих странах Пасха выпадает на конец осени. Однако по всему миру Пасха ассоциируется с новой жизнью и новыми начинаниями.
