This year, Easter Day is on April 20 and
people around the world celebrate the festival by their own ways. Because
Easter Day means the resurrection of Jesus, people are really excited to
celebrate it.
Marking Christianity's most hopeful day,
Pope Francis made an Easter Sunday plea for peace and dialogue in Ukraine and
Syria, for an end to terrorist attacks against Christians in Nigeria and for
more attention to the hungry and neediest close to home.
Many Easter traditions stem directly from
Christian symbolism, dealing with Christ and the resurrection, while others
come from pagan rites of Spring.
For Christians, Easter celebrates both the
day Jesus rose from the dead and the end of the fast of Lent. Renewal and
rebirth are major themes of Easter, and many of these traditions began before
the birth of Christ. The prominence of the egg is a symbol of that rebirth.
Likewise, the tradition of eating lamb on Easter probably comes from the
availability of the first lamb of the season, which historically came to market
around the time of Easter.
What would you do and what did you do on
Easter day? Did you watch the latest movies as me? I use blu-ray player
in my mac and I really enjoy it.
