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. Since its conception as a holy praise in the second century, Easter has had its non-religious side. In fact, Easter was originally a pagan festival. The ancient Saxonsen celebrated the return of spring with an uproarious festival? commemorate? of their goddess of springtime and the Offspring, Eastre. When second-century Christians met missionariesna tribes of the north with their pagan fame, they tried to convert them to Christianity. The order, however, in a clandestine manner. The injured have been suicide for the Christian converts in the very early to be celebrating their holy days with observances that are not met Celebrations, which already existed. To save lives missionariesna cleverly decided to spread their religious message throughout the slow populations, by allowing them to continue to celebrate pagan feasts, but to do so in a Christian manner. 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 praise, which converts slowly won over. The known early, Eastre, was finally to its modern spell, Easter. Date of Easter Before A.D. 325, Easter was celebrated differently on different days of the week, including on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This year, the Council of Nicaea convened by the Emperor Constantine. It issued the Easter rule that says the Easter is 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. "Full Moon" in the rule is the Ecclesiastical Full Moon, which defines as the fourteenth day of a luna tion in table form, where day 1 corresponds to the Ecclesiastical new moon. It does not occur always 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。
2. 复活里的经典句子1. doubting Thomas （怀疑的托马斯） 源自《圣经·新约·约翰福音》第20章。
该篇讲到耶稣复活后出现在众人面前，十二门徒之一的托马斯没有亲眼见到，声称除非看到耶稣手上的钉痕，用手探入他的肋旁，否则不信他已复活。后来人们用"doubting Thomas"指那些不肯轻易相信别人的人。
He's a real doubting Thomas - he simply wouldnn't believe I'd won the car until he saw it with his own eyes. 他是一个真正的怀疑主义者--在没有亲眼看到之前他就是不相信我赢得了那辆车。 2. the apple of the/one's eye （眼睛中的瞳孔） 源自《圣经·旧约·诗篇》第17章，"Keep me as the apple of the eye."（求你保护我，如同保护眼中的瞳孔。）
另《申命记》第32章也出现"He kept him as the apple of his eye."（保护他如同保护眼中的瞳孔。）。
现译作"掌上明珠"，表示特别珍视的东西。 His youngest son was the apple of his eye. 他的小儿子是他的心肝宝贝。
3. an eye for an eye （以眼还眼） 在《圣经》中多次出现，如《圣经·旧约·申命记》的19篇，摩西受上帝之命，成为在埃及做奴隶的以色列人的领袖。他发布法令："The punishment is to be a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand and a foot for a foot."（"要以命偿命，以眼还眼，以 牙还牙，以手还手，以脚还脚。
" 。汉语中"以眼还眼"、"以牙还牙"即源于此，表示"以其人之道还治其人之身"。
4. feet of clay （泥足、致命的弱点） 典出《圣经·旧约·但以理书》第2章。巴比伦国王尼布甲尼撒（Nebuchadnezzar）梦到一泥足巨人，头是金的，胸臂是银的，腹股是铜的，被飞来的一块巨石砸碎了脚，整个巨人顿时瓦解。
希伯来先知但以理释梦称这预示着国家要分裂。现多用来指"伟人不为人知的弱点或致命的弱点"。
When the coach was arrested for drunken driving, the students realized that their hero had feet of clay. 当教练酒后驾驶被拘留，学生们才意识到他们心目中的英雄也有致命的弱点。 5. clean hands （洁净的手） 源自《圣经·旧约·约伯记》第17章。
"He that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger."（"手洁的人将会愈益有力。"）。
现多与come out with, with 或have 等词连用，表示"廉洁、清白"。 He retired from office with clean hands. 他退休时两袖清风。
John grew up in a bad neighborhood, but he grew up with clean hands.约翰在不良的环境中成长，却出淤泥而不染。 6. as one man （一致地） 这是英语中最古老的成语之一，源自《圣经·旧约·士师记》第20章。
"So all the people got them up as one man."（"所有人都团结起来如同一个人。"。
现仍表示"（全体）一致地"。 The teaching staff speak as one man on this issue. 在这个问题上全体教员意见一致。
7. old Adam （老亚当） 源自《圣经·旧约·士师记》第2、3章。上帝创造了世界上的第一个男人，取名为亚当（Adam），后因偷吃禁果而被逐出伊甸园。
现用"old Adam"来指"本性的罪恶"。 One's real enemy is the old Adam. 人的真正敌人是本性之恶。
因为亚当非女人所生，所以没有肚脐，是最容易辨认的人，因此"not know somebody from Adam"就表示"完全不认识某人"。 Mrs. Smith is a friend of mine, but I don't know her husband from Adam.史密斯太太是我的朋友，但我完全不认识她丈夫。
8. chapter and verse（引文的确实之处，确切依据） 本习语并非出自《圣经》，其来源却与《圣经》有关。16世纪时，《圣经》在原先分卷分类的基础上进一步细分为章（chapter）、节（verse），这就为人们在引用《圣经》时标出确切出处提供了方便。
现多与give连用，表示"详细地"或"精确地"。 She failed to give chapter and verse for her charge that he had taken brides. 她指控他受贿，却没能提供确凿的证据。
这里所列举的几个例子都是英美国家的人在日常交流中广泛使用的，但对于英语中数以千计的《圣经》习语来说只是沧海一粟。学习英语的人多了解一些英语国家的文化背景，多明白一些习语的出处典故，可以更好地帮助记忆，也可以更好地理解英语中所蕴含的文化内涵，发现其中的迷人之处。

6. 复活的经典句子七日第一日的悠悠长夜，慢慢过去了。破晓前的黑暗已经到来，基督依然是一个被禁闭在狭窄坟墓里的死囚。
成群的恶天使聚集于此。若可能，黑暗之君和他叛逆的队伍，巴不得永远封住那拘禁上帝儿子的坟墓。但是，另有一支天上的大军围着那墓，有大能的天使守卫着，等待欢迎生命之王。
当基督舍去他的生命时，曾有一次地震作为特征；当他胜利地取回自己的生命时，又有一次地震为那时刻作证据。已经得胜死亡和阴间的主，迈着胜利者的步伐，在地动、闪电和雷轰之际从坟墓里出来了。但将来他再来到地上时，他“不单要震动地，还要震动天。”
那在十字架上喊叫“成了”的声音，传进了死人的耳中；穿透坟墓的墙壁，叫醒睡了的人要起来。将来，基督的声音从天上发出时，也必如此。那声音必能穿透坟茔，打开墓门，在基督里死了的人就必复活。从前救主复活时只开了几座坟墓，但将来在他复临时，一切死了的义人，都必听见他的声音就出来，得到光荣而永恒的生命。那使基督从死里复活的同一大能，也必复兴他的教会，使教会与他同得荣耀，远超过一切执政的、掌权的、……和一切有名的，不但是今世的，连来世的也都超过了。
7. 复活 精彩句子七日第一日的悠悠长夜，慢慢过去了。
破晓前的黑暗已经到来，基督依然是一个被禁闭在狭窄坟墓里的死囚。大石头还堵在墓门口，罗马政府盖上官印的封条也丝纹没动，罗马的卫兵按着更次把守着坟墓。
那里还有看不见的守望者。成群的恶天使聚集于此。
若可能，黑暗之君和他叛逆的队伍，巴不得永远封住那拘禁上帝儿子的坟墓。但是，另有一支天上的大军围着那墓，有大能的天使守卫着，等待欢迎生命之王。
“忽然，地大震动，因为有主的使者从天上下来。”这一位天使披戴上帝的全副荣装离开天庭；上帝荣耀的光辉照耀着他前面的道路。
“他的像貌如同闪电，衣服洁白如雪。看守的人就因他吓得浑身乱战，甚至和死人一样。”
祭司和官长们哪，现在你们警卫队的力量在哪里？这些从来不怕世人威力的勇士，现在不动刀戈就被活活生擒了。他们看到的不是普通武士的面目，而是耶和华军队中最有能力者的威容。
这个使者就是撒但堕落之后补充遗缺的一位，就是那在伯利恒山地传报基督降生喜信的那一位。现在他来到墓前，地震山摇，黑暗势力的鬼魔抱头鼠窜。
当他滚开石头时，天庭似乎都到地上来了。罗马兵见他挪开那大石头，如同拨弄一粒石子，并听见他高声喊道：上帝的儿子，出来吧！你的父召唤你！他们看见耶稣从坟墓里出来，并听见他在开裂的坟墓上宣布：“复活在我，生命也在我。”
当救主在威严和荣耀中出现时，众天使就俯伏在他面前敬拜，同唱赞美诗歌来欢迎他。 当基督舍去他的生命时，曾有一次地震作为特征；当他胜利地取回自己的生命时，又有一次地震为那时刻作证据。
已经得胜死亡和阴间的主，迈着胜利者的步伐，在地动、闪电和雷轰之际从坟墓里出来了。但将来他再来到地上时，他“不单要震动地，还要震动天。”
（来12:26） "地要东倒西歪，好像醉酒的人；又摇来摇去，好像吊床。”“天被卷起，好像书卷”；"有形质的都要被烈火销化，地和其上的物都要烧尽了。”
但“耶和华却要作百姓的避难所，作以色列人的保障。”（赛24:20; 34:4； 彼后3:10； 珥3:16） 耶稣死的时候，罗马兵丁在正午看见遍地黑暗；但在主复活时，他们却在夜里看见众天使的荣光，并听见天上的居民欢欣鼓舞地唱着：你已经战胜了撒但和黑暗的权势；你已经胜利地吞灭了死亡！ 基督从坟墓里出来时得了荣耀，罗马的守卫兵看见了他。
他们目不转睛地凝视着他们最近戏弄嘲笑过的主的面孔。在这荣耀的主身上，他们认出了在审判厅里看见过的囚犯。
他们曾编制一顶荆棘冠冕戴在他头上。这就是那毫不抵抗地站在彼拉多和希律面前，身受残酷的鞭打，以致遍体鳞伤的一位。
这就是那被钉在十字架上，祭司和官长们扬扬得意地对他摇着头说：“他救了别人，不能救自己”（太27:42）的一位。这也就是那被安放在约瑟新坟墓里的一位。
上天的命令已释放这个俘虏。他坟墓上即或堆起重重叠叠的大山，也不能拦阻他从里面出来。
罗马的守卫兵，一见众天使和荣耀的救主，就昏厥在地，犹如死人。成群的天使从眼前消失之后，他们才能站起来；用颤抖的腿拼命跑出墓园大门，踉踉跄跄地像醉汉似地急忙进了城，将这奇特的新闻告诉所遇见的人。
他们本要到彼拉多那里去，但他们的报告先传到犹太当局耳中。于是祭司长和官长们派人将他们先带到自己面前来。
那些兵的样子很不正常。他们惊吓战栗，面无人色，为基督的复活作了见证。
兵丁把亲眼看见的事全都说出来，除了实话实说，哪里还会想到或说起别的事。他们痛心、吃力地说：那被钉死的是上帝的儿子，我们亲耳听见一位天使宣告他为天上的君，荣耀的王。
祭司们面如死灰。该亚法想要说话，嘴虽颤动，却哼不出一点声音。
卫兵们转身离开会议室时，听见有话叫他们回来。该亚法终于说出话来了。
他说：等一等，不要把你们所看见的告诉任何人。 他们便为士兵捏造一个虚谎的报告。
祭司们说：“你们要这样说：'夜间我们睡觉的时候，他的门徒来把他偷去了。'”在这件事上，祭司们真是掩耳盗铃。
卫兵们怎能说他们睡着的时候门徒把身体偷了去呢？如果他们睡着了，又怎能知道呢？况且，众门徒若是被证实犯了偷盗基督身体的罪，那么祭司们岂不要先定他们的罪吗？再者，若卫兵在坟墓前睡觉，祭司们岂不要率先向彼拉多告他们吗？ 卫兵们一想到要把失职的罪名加在自己头上，不禁深为恐慌。因为这个罪名是足以判处死刑的。
他们能作假见证欺骗民众而危及自己的性命吗？他们岂不是彻夜未眠地殷勤站岗吗？即使他们为了金钱作假见证，又怎能经得起上级的查问呢？ 祭司们为要除掉自己所惧怕的见证，就应许一定保证守卫士兵的安全；并说彼拉多和他们一样，不愿意这样的消息传出去。于是罗马兵为了钱，就把自己的人格出卖给犹太人。
他们进来见祭司时，带着个非常惊人的真理信息；而出去时，则带了许多金钱，嘴里还带着祭司为他们捏造的假见证。 这时基督复活的消息，已经传到彼拉多的耳中。
彼拉多既把基督交出处死，固应负责，但他后来却不大关心。当初他勉强定救主的死罪时，是存有怜惜之心情的，可是到现在，他才真感到良心自责，恐怖慌张，闭门谢客，不接见任何人。
但祭。
