復活節是基督教最重要的節日之一,顧名思義,就是為了慶祝耶穌復活的日子,因此是一個象徵重生、希望與光明的節日,而復活節最特別的地方,並不是每年固定某一天,而是在每年春分月圓之後的第一個星期日。而春分之後便開始進入晝長夜短的日子,因此也與象徵光明的復活節相呼應,另外復活節的英文為Easter,實則是從春天女神Eostre之名所演變而來的。

Photo 2 of 2 08 March 2021, Saxony, Leipzig: Easter egg artist Kerstin Dischereit works a goose egg on two ostrich eggs in her "Easter Bunny Workshop," which she painted with the Corona theme "Home Chaos 2021." The illustrations depict bunnies from the nearly 100-year-old classic picture book "The Bunny School" struggling with home offices and homeschooling. Since the stock exchanges and Easter markets are cancelled again because of Corona, Dischereit uses the Internet for her extensive Easter egg collection. Photo: Wal

大家最熟悉的復活節代表物,絕對非復活蛋Easter Egg莫屬,歐美國家每逢復活節前夕,就會看到大街小巷中掛滿了復活節彩蛋與復活節兔Easter Bunny的裝飾,許多社區學校也都會舉辦復活節的相關活動,最經典的就是尋找復活蛋,以及復活節蛋彩繪。

尋找復活蛋是以象徵生命的雞蛋為主角,基督教在傳統上也將雞蛋視為是耶穌復活的象徵,後來慢慢演變成將蛋染成紅色、彩繪成彩色,甚至是鑲嵌上水晶寶石的獨特造型。

復活節之所以會受到小孩們的喜愛,當然就是有得玩又有得拿了,聖誕節時孩子掛起了聖誕襪期待聖誕禮物,而復活節則是尋找復活蛋然後品嚐美味的復活節巧克力蛋了。不過除了各式各樣的復活節巧克力蛋之外,許多家庭也都會烤復活節麵包,而復活節麵包上更會特別畫上十字,藉此紀念耶穌被釘在十字架上。
