復(fù)活節(jié)中英對照資料.docx

中文背景【了解】4月6日開始，加拿大人將放三天或四天長假，原因是這個星期五是Good Friday（耶穌受難日），緊接而來的是Easter Sunday（復(fù)活節(jié)） 和Easter Monday（復(fù)活節(jié)星期一），而Easter Monday 不是法定假期，大部分公司仍舊上班，學(xué)校會放假。 星期五：Good Friday Good Friday，又稱基督受難日或耶穌受難節(jié)，是為了紀(jì)念耶穌基督被釘在十字架上受難的日子，是復(fù)活節(jié)前一個星期五。據(jù)圣經(jīng)記載，耶穌于猶太歷尼散月十四日上午九時左右被釘在十字架上，于下午三時左右死去。耶穌唯獨吩咐門徒要紀(jì)念他的死亡。教會會在這日舉行受難日崇拜及拜苦路禮儀，讓信徒默想基督為世人所付出的愛。 星期六：復(fù)活節(jié)前日 Easter Saturday【這個我們不需要講= =b】復(fù)活節(jié)前日即復(fù)活節(jié)前的星期六。在基督徒心中，是等待耶穌基督自死中復(fù)活的日子。當(dāng)日羅馬天主教會不舉行彌撒，直到晚上才慶?；綉?zhàn)勝罪惡和死亡，為人類帶來救恩和希望。星期日：復(fù)活節(jié) Easter Day 復(fù)活節(jié)原本是古代異教的“春節(jié)”，是慶祝春回大地一切恢復(fù)生機(jī)的節(jié)日。復(fù)活節(jié)可追溯到古巴比倫的愛情、生育和戰(zhàn)爭女神“伊什塔爾”（Ishtar）。后來，此女神變成了西歐的黎明和春天女神Eastre。復(fù)活節(jié)會在每年春分月圓之后第一個星期日舉行，因為春分之后便開始日長夜短光明大過黑暗，月圓的時候，不但在日間充滿光明，就連漆黑的夜晚也被光輝（月光）照耀。因此，這正好是耶穌復(fù)活光明戰(zhàn)勝黑暗的寫照。 羅馬帝國君士坦丁大帝在公元325年召開第一次尼西亞公會議，規(guī)定復(fù)活節(jié)是星期日，因星期日被教會視作為安息日，即耶穌死而復(fù)活的日子，所以復(fù)活節(jié)就在每年春分月圓后第一個星期日舉行。如果月圓那天剛好是星期天，復(fù)活節(jié)則推遲一星期。因而復(fù)活節(jié)可能在3月22日至4月25日之間的任何一天。比如說2006年月圓那天是4月13日（星期四），所以月圓后的第一個星期日4月16日就是復(fù)活節(jié)。2008年月圓日是3月20日，所以3月22日就是復(fù)活節(jié)。 不過自古以來，計算復(fù)活節(jié)的方法十分復(fù)雜，拉丁文Computus（計算）一字更專指計算復(fù)活節(jié)的方法，而羅馬教會及東正教會的計算亦略有差異，所以東西方復(fù)活節(jié)可在不同日子出現(xiàn)。1997年，國際普世教會協(xié)會在敘利亞召開會議時，曾建議改革計算復(fù)活節(jié)的方式，并建議統(tǒng)一東西教會的復(fù)活節(jié)，但至今絕大部分國家仍沒有跟隨。星期一：復(fù)活節(jié)星期一 Easter Monday復(fù)活節(jié)星期一是基督徒們繼續(xù)慶祝耶穌復(fù)活的日子，也是加拿大法定的休息日。各教堂在這一天將舉辦復(fù)活節(jié)儀式，基督徒們會往從教堂里取回的復(fù)活節(jié)圣水里加入香精油或是香水，然后噴在家里的家具、食物、寵物、花園等各處。同時，這一天也是家庭的節(jié)日，全家會聚在一起吃飯。復(fù)活節(jié)游戲、復(fù)活節(jié)蛋、復(fù)活節(jié)免子等也是這一天的中心。在北美，與復(fù)活節(jié)相關(guān)的物品有復(fù)活節(jié)兔子和復(fù)活節(jié)彩蛋。 古人常把蛋視為多子多孫和復(fù)活的象征。后來基督教徒又賦予蛋新的涵義，認(rèn)為它是耶穌墓的象征，未來的生命就是從其中掙脫而出世的。復(fù)活節(jié)時人們把雞蛋染成紅色，代表耶穌受難時流出的鮮血，同時也象征復(fù)活后的快樂。還有一種古老的習(xí)俗，是把煮熟的雞蛋送給街頭的孩子們做游戲，他們把蛋往前滾，誰的蛋最后破，誰就獲得勝利，蛋全歸他所有。還有些人喜歡在蛋上畫各種各樣的鬼臉或花紋。 兔子也是復(fù)活節(jié)的象征。因為兔子繁殖力很強(qiáng)，所以人們把它視為新生命的表現(xiàn)者。大人常繪聲繪色地告訴孩子復(fù)活節(jié)彩蛋是兔子下的（但事實上，兔子其實是不下蛋的，所以復(fù)活節(jié)彩蛋其實都是雞蛋），并把彩蛋放在花園里，讓孩子們玩找蛋游戲。 現(xiàn)在每逢復(fù)活節(jié)，加拿大的各大商場或是糖果店總要出售用巧克力制成的復(fù)活節(jié)小兔和彩蛋。這些彩蛋小的和雞蛋差不多，大的竟有甜瓜那么大，孩子們自然喜歡，送給親戚朋友，也不失為上佳禮品。復(fù)活節(jié)兔是復(fù)活節(jié)象征之一。作為多產(chǎn)動物的兔子，象征了春天的復(fù)蘇和新生命的誕生。兔子是愛神阿弗洛狄特的寵物，也是日耳曼土地女神霍爾塔的持燭引路者。因此，現(xiàn)在兔子是作為給孩子們送復(fù)活節(jié)蛋的使者?！居⑽馁Y料】*Good Friday in Canada*加拿大的耶穌受難日Good Friday occurs two days before Easter Sunday.
