篇1：复活节的诗歌
复活节的诗歌
This day, was so special, when big chocoholics so little,
sang the jelly bean prayer from the basket of victory.
You may have heard, or never, of this for-surreal history;
So please do listen as I share this, ever real, bonny story.
There was a knock at the door, I wondered who could it be?
Was it the Easter Bunny with some scripture candy for me?
I looked through the window, and seen every precious hue.
All about the green grass was eggs scarlet, yellow, and blue.
The sun has beautifully risen from the wonderful east.
I felt so happy with the magic of life within released.
There was a flash, visual music, just past the red oak tree.
I seen his tall ears, marshmallow tail, then his quick feet.
He has to be from heaven, I do give him merit
He left us proof, he left us a half bitten carrot
And when I went to bed that warm spring night
Mother told me why the egg was the color white
I thanked my dear mother with kisses and laughter
I told her I loved my basket with the purple wrapper
She said, it was my fathers idea, Im his dear child
He said, its the meaning of life, to again give me a smile.
篇2：有关复活节的诗歌
在耶稣出生前的几百年间，就有先知预言救世主或基督将要降生，要来救赎上帝的子民。
可是人死如何能复活?人们一直不相信这样的说法。
“复活”确实超出了一般人的经验范畴，正因为如此，很多人质疑它--- 这是完全可以理解的。虽然耶稣复活的意义属於神学范畴，耶稣复活的事件本身却属於历史事实。
因为复活留下的历史痕迹不仅有《圣经》中的凭据，还有教会的创立，圣餐和洗礼的设立，十字架的象徵意义等。
两千年来，日复一日，全世界成千上万的基督徒，同声朗诵著这样一句奇特的话：“第三天他从死里复活。”是的，基督徒的亲身经历，他们生命的改变，使他们对此话坚信不疑。
耶稣的复活，的确无法用自然科学的方法验证。然而，诚如剑桥大学的著名学者魏思科( canon westcott)所言：“实际上，把所有的证据集合起来，我们大可以说，历史上没有任何一 件事比基督复活有更充分、又更多样的证据。除非你先存成见，认为这一定是假的，不然，没有任何事物可以使我们认为他复活缺乏证据。”
请听马太福音二十八章1-10节中有关耶稣复活的相关记载：(同时请参阅马可福音十六章，路加福音二十四章，并约翰福音二十-二十一章)
1.安息日将尽，七日的头一日。天将亮的时候，抹大拉的马利亚和另外一个马利亚来看坟墓。
2.忽然地大震动，因为有主的使者，从天上下来，把石头辊开，坐在上面。
3.他的像貌如同闪电，衣服洁白如雪。
4.看守的人，就因他吓得浑身乱战，甚至和死人一样。
5.天使对妇女说：不要害怕，我知道你们是寻找那钉十字架的耶稣。
6.他不在这里，照他所说的，已经复活了，你们来看安放主的地方。
7.快去告诉他的门徒说，他从死里复活了，并且在你们以先往加利利去。在那里你们要见他。看哪!我已经告诉你们了。
8.妇女们就急忙离开坟墓，又害怕、又大大的欢喜，跑去要报给他的门徒。
9.忽然耶稣遇见他们说，愿你们平安。他们就上前抱住他的脚拜他。
10.耶稣对他们说：不要害怕。你们去告诉我的弟兄，叫他们往加利利去，在那里必见我。
11.他们去的时候，看守的兵有几个进城去，将所经历的事都报给祭司长。
篇3：有关复活节的诗歌精选
i thought it was a kitty cat
but saw it was a rabbit
he was hopping down the trail
and then he stopped to sit.
he looked back at me
and wiggled his nose
seems he wanted me to follow
so, i quickly arose.
i started down that trail
amongst the forest's trees
as that rabbit scurried off
as quickly as you'd please.
he stopped at the next bend
he once more looked at me
and as i moved nearer
he turned once more to flee.
i moved deeper in the forest
it was dark and kinda silent
i looked around the trail's curve
to see where that rabbit went.
he sat in an open clearing
of clover covered ground
amidst a group of creatures
that had gathered around.
they all watched me warily
but, they didn't turn to run
the rabbit said, “come join us.
come join in our fun.”
i asked, “how do you speak?
am i losing my mind?
if i close my eyes and look again,
i wonder what i'll find?”
he said, “you're in our world now,
and if you'll truly believe,
you will be amazed at things
your heart and mind perceive.”
“you will see life as it should be,
if you'll take the time to look.
you'll find all those stories true,
as told in the fairytale book.”
“you'll see we live in peace,
and nearly perfect harmony.
you'll learn what it really means
to be happy, safe and free.”
i sat down with legs crossed
and said, “please tell me more.
this sounds like the very place
that i have been searching for.”
“i'm tired of all the hassle
of this world in which i live
where they all think, i want to take,
when i only want to give.”
“it's a plastic/cardboard place
where nothing's really real.
where so many things are only said,
without the will to feel.”
“so, if i like it here with you
will i be able to stay?
or will you force me to return
to where they play those games they play?”
he said, “humans are so foolish!
they are filled with hate and greed
they rip the life from the earth
after they've planted it's seed.”
you say you want to stay with us
but, that can not be allowed,
for if we welcome one of you
before long, there'll be a crowd.“
”we will let you stay for awhile
try to teach you what we know
that this world can live in peace
and then, you'll have to go.“
but then i awakened
and realized, i'd dreamed
but i can't get over how real
篇4：复活节的诗歌
主啊
祢钉痕的手，抚慰我的'伤口，
要 亲自医治我的痛
看著祢的手，想到祢的痛
我顿时忘掉自己一点点的痛
主请教导我不要那么在乎痛
让我也能够 被骂不还口
让我时常看到祢钉痕的手
知道我的痛永远不及你的痛
......
篇5：复活节的诗歌
父啊，赦免他们
因为他们所做的
他们不知道
父啊，赦免他们
因为他们所做的
他们不知道
他在最痛的时候
说出了这一句话
没有苦毒的眼神
没有咒诅的怨恨
他在最痛的时候
打开宽恕的门
他为爱来到世上
他为爱走上十架
他把爱活在伤口
他用爱战胜死亡
他为爱来到世上
他为爱走上十架
他的爱改写历史
他的爱重生世界
你为爱来到世上
你为爱走上十架
你的爱改写历史
你的爱重生了我

篇7：复活节的清晨诗歌
七日的第一日清早，
天还黑的时候，
我听到鸟儿的鸣叫，
也听到那柔声呼唤。
起来用凉水洗净自己的身体，
祈求那复活的大能再次临到我心。
这个春天可以不来，
这只鸟儿可以不唱，
这首诗歌可以不写，
我却不能不在这冰冷的温暖中全然向你。
二
两千年前的这一清晨，
抹大拉的马利亚也已醒起。
她站在你荒凉的坟墓园子里哭，
因有人把你的尸体挪了去，
她不知道放在哪里。
一个如此善良、温和的好人被钉死，
没能再次用香膏膏抹，
就连尸身也不知踪迹。
她在哭泣，
哭好人的悲惨遭遇；
她在哭泣，
分明忆起这个人莫大的能力，
连在她身上的七个污鬼也被赶出去，
那曾是多么惊心动魄的经历。
从魔鬼的梦魇中醒来，
在明亮的阳光下迎着
你那慈怜的目光。
哦，主啊，
你的目光融解了我所有的苦涩，
化解了我一切的不幸、羞耻、怨恨和憎恶。
从你的目光我学会了接受自己，
接受这个饱受摧残和深受厌倦的自我。
主啊，为何你不用这莫大的能力救救自己？
为何三天前不从十字架上下来，
好让我们拥戴你？
主啊，以前我曾幸福的哭泣，
现在却悲伤地哭泣……
三
妇人，为什么哭，你找谁呢？
先生，可曾见到我主？
若是你把他的尸身挪了去，
请告诉我你把他放在哪里，
我便去取。
马利亚--
啊，多么柔声的呼唤，
轻轻唤醒所有的记忆；
啊，多么有力的呼唤，
重重敲击紧闭的心门。
啊，多么亲切的呼唤，
喊着我的名字，
把我带进你的永恒里。
四
原来死亡也可以死亡，
原来罪恶也可以消去，
原来复活不是以后的事而是现在的事，
原来有一种生命是如此生生不息，
原来有一种大爱是如此真实……
马利亚--
小约翰--
啊，多么柔声的呼唤，
轻轻唤醒所有的记忆；
啊，多么有力的呼唤，
重重敲击紧闭的心门。
啊，多么亲切的呼唤，
喊着我的名字，
把我带进你的永恒里。
五
连阳光也复活了，
如此新鲜美丽。
连鸟鸣也复活了，
如此清脆又有朝气。
坟墓被青草覆盖，
死亡被生命吞灭，
种子死去--
却结出饱满的籽粒。
主啊，你是一粒种子种下去，
我便是你所结出的新鲜籽粒。
过去我的生活在你里面复活，
如今我的.生命在你里面也复活。
主啊，我愿是一粒种子，
随你种下去，
如同天父植你。
六
篇8：复活节的清晨诗歌
何等新鲜圣洁。
穿越历史的时空，
贯通永恒的记忆。
我荒凉的岁月再次与你同钉，
温暖的大爱再次把我沐浴。
主啊，我是何等污秽不洁的人，
你却称我为姊妹兄弟。
你说要升上去见你的父，
也是我们的父；
见你的神，
也是我们的神。
是我的父，我的神。
多么愿意随你同去，
你却留我在此处传扬这最珍贵的福

Easter: The Day of Resurrection
Well, There is a Christian saying. It says, ”Prophets died, saints died, great men died - none of them ever returned to life. When Christ died some people remembered that he had foretold his resurrection……“
Well, There is a Christian saying. It says, ”Prophets died, saints died, great men died - none of them ever returned to life. When Christ died some people remembered that he had foretold his resurrection……“
The reference of Bible
Behind the festive joys, feast, fun and family enjoyment, Easter reminds all of a significant event. The event that Jesus Christ was resurrected, after having suffered and died. It reminds you that Christ, who was crucified on, what is now called, the Good Friday, showed himself up on the Easter. So, it is a time to celebrate. To celebrate - that Lord, who appeared on Earth for the good of mankind, is always with us.
That Jesus would resurrect was foretold. The saying came as one of his prophecies.
And, with memories sharpened by hatred, his enemies were the first to remember his prophecy. Hardly had he been buried when they approached the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate with a request to guard the tomb. Pilate gave them soldiers and instructed them to secure the tomb. They went, sealed the stone that closed the entrance, and set the guards to keep watch day and night.
During the night of Friday, the day of his Crucifixion, through to Saturday, nothing had really happened. So did go the the whole of Saturday, the weekly rest day in Jerusalem then.
The things turned different on the early morning of the Sunday, the third day since Jesus was crucified. There was a great uproar and the guards of the tomb were all struck by lightning. for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. His face shining like lightning and his garments white as snow. At this sight, the soldiers trembled with fear and remained as dead men. When they came to their senses there was no point in watching over an empty tomb any longer.
They went to report the chief priest about the incident. In reply they were asked to distort the truth. And spread a story that the body of Jesus was stolen by his own disciples when the guards were asleep during the night.
Meanwhile, early on the following morning, that was Sunday morning, some holy women started for the tomb. They were surprised to see that the stone had been moved aside. They entered the tomb. And found it empty. As they wondered what all these meant, two angels appeared. The angels told them that Jesus had risen again, as he had already told.
Soon Peter, the chief of Jesus' twelve apostles got there along with John, his junior. They found only the linen and the piece of cloth used to wrap his body lied in the empty tomb. Puzzled, they left.
But Jesus was yet to appear in front of them. Instead, Jesus went farther. He turned up to join two of his disciples who were journeying from Jerusalem to a village called Emmaus. However, Jesus did not make himself known to them. Jesus to them came to be known as a stranger who had real mastery over the holy Scriptures. Impressed they invited Jesus to stay with them and share their meal. Jesus agreed. But when at the table they recognized Jesus, he disappeared.
In no time the two disciples headed for Jerusalem. When they met the apostles and told them about everything happened, Jesus made his appearance. And Jesus convinced them all that he was alive and asked them if anything was there to eat. Then he ate in their presence as a living man does. With this everybody there became overwhelmed with joy that their master had returned to life. And life again had become meaningful to the apostles.
Jesus had eaten with them. Talked to them in a familiar manner. And finally he reminded them that he had come from heaven, sent by his Father to perform a task. Now, the task had been done by offering his life for the sins of mankind, it is time for the apostles to follow his suit. And Jesus gave the apostles the Holy Spirit: the power over sin. So one whose sins are forgiven by the apostles, would be forgiven by the heaven. After this Jesus left, as suddenly as he came in.
Jesus returned to the same place on the Sunday next, to make believe the unbelievers. And Jesus showed himself now and then to teach his apostles the lessons and to teach them to live without him. Jesus did this for a period of forty days.
On the fortieth day of reappearance, when he felt he had given the disciples all that he had to, he went back to the heaven. This same Jesus will come back just the same way He has left.
He had left his disciples to carry on his work and to reach his message of love and peace to all.
The Easter Bunny: Symbol of Easter
The Easter Bunny is one of the best known Easter symbols. Learn its history, and how people around the world revere rabbits and hares.
The Easter Bunny is one of the best known Easter symbols. Learn its history, and how people around the world revere rabbits and hares.
The Easter Bunny: Beloved Easter Symbol
Of all the symbols of Easter, none is more beloved than the Easter Bunny. And, of all the symbols of this season, none has a more varied, unique and universal background than this floppy-eared chocolate confection deliveryman. With his place—and yes, for some reason, the Easter Bunny is always referred to as ”he“—in the traditions of many cultures, Rabbit can most certainly answer the question, ”What's up, doc?“ (after all, what would Elmer be without Bugs?).
The Advent of The Easter Bunny
The first documented use of the bunny as a symbol of Easter appears in Germany in the 1500s; although the actual matching of the holiday and the hare was probably a much earlier folk tradition. Not surprisingly, it was also the Germans who made the first edible Easter Bunnies in the 1800s.
The Pennsylvania Dutch brought the beneficent Easter Bunny to the United States in the 1700s. Children eagerly awaited the arrival of Oschter Haws and his gifts with a joy second only to that brought about by the winter visit of Kris Kringle.
Rabbits Revered Around the World
Many Asian and Eurasian cultures revere the rabbit (or hare) as a sacred messenger of the Divine; to the Chinese, he is a creature in the moon, pounding rice (the staff of life) in a mortar.
To the followers of Buddhism the rabbit was placed in the moon as a result of his self-sacrifice in offering himself as food. In a second version, the rabbit cooks himself in Indra's fire since he had no food to offer her and the deity placed him in the moon as a reward. To the Egyptians, the hare (as opposed to the rabbit) was known as un, which meant ”to open,“ or ”the opener.“ This was because the hare, unlike his cotton-tailed cousin, is born with his eyes open. ”Un“ also meant ”period“ as it was a symbol for both lunar and human cycles.
These traditions undoubtedly spread to the indigenous tribes of Western Europe much as the Indo-European language base developed through encounters between these two groups. This also blended well with Celtic tradition, which viewed the hare as a symbol of fertility and new life, and the Germanic tradition that the hare brought new life each spring.
Even in North America, the Rabbit/Hare is revered. To the Native American peoples, he was the Trickster/Transformer who either plays the Fool or, in other instances, has brought about a benefit for humankind (i.e., the legend of Rabbit bringing fire to the people). The ancient Mayan culture gives Rabbit credit for inventing Mayan writing.
Just as the ancient sacred places and names were blended into the holiday celebration we know as Easter, so too was the Rabbit/Hare molded from an ancient bringer of new life and renewal to the Easter Bunny, a symbol of a holiday celebrating a resurrection. In truth, the Rabbit stays the same: a messenger of a season when all things are possible and all things can again be new.
Easter Sunday, Easter Baskets
Easter is not just bunnies and eggs. Learn about Easter Sunday, Easter bonnets, Easter baskets and why people pick pussy willows in Russia and England.
Easter is not just bunnies and eggs. Learn about Easter Sunday, Easter bonnets, Easter baskets and why people pick pussy willows in Russia and England.
Easter Sunday
Although taken as a given, one question that is rarely asked, but should be, is why Easter has to fall on a Sunday. In 325 AD, the council of Nice issued an edict that read, in pertinent part, ”Easter was to fall upon the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the Vernal Equinox; and if said full moon fell on a Sunday, the Easter should be the Sunday after.“
The Easter celebration was coordinated with older, pre-Christian celebrations of spring. The direct relationship to Sunday as the day sacred to the Sun, the ultimate symbol of life, is obvious; yet the subtle connections to the earlier celebrations of the time of planting and the Moon are of equal importance in determining the day of the Easter celebration.
Easter Baskets
The Easter basket originates from the ancient Catholic custom of taking the food for Easter dinner to mass to be blessed. This, too, mirrored the even more ancient ritual of bringing the first crops and seedlings to the temple to insure a good growing season.
This practice, combined with the ”rabbit's nest“ awaited by the Pennsylvania Dutch has evolved in the brightly colored containers filled with sweets, toys and the like left for children on Easter morning by that omnipotent hare.
Bells
The timing of the use of bells at Easter comes from France and Italy. While the gentle pealing of these huge instruments can be heard throughout the year, their songs fall silent on Maundy Thursday—the Thursday before Easter—not to be heard again until Easter Sunday, thus marking the resurrection.
This Easter tradition, too, has an older origin. In many ancient belief systems the period before an equinox or solstice was a time of reflection on the past seasons. This period of silence would then be marked by a joyous celebration of light and sound that told all that the darkness had fled and that new life was coming back into the world.
Other Easter Traditions
The cross and the lily are both Christian symbols relating to the religious significance of the season and the renewal of faith. Similarly, the lamb has a religious basis, both in Christianity (Christ as the Good Shepherd) and in Judaism (the Paschal Lamb). The view of a lamb as a symbol of new life is the foundation for both religious images.
The Easter bonnet and the wearing of new clothes on Easter Sunday are fairly recent additions to Easter traditions. While imitating the more ancient view that the new clothes and colors symbolized the end of winter, new life and renewal, the actual practice of strolling to Church in your ”Sunday Best“ was not prevalent until the end of the nineteenth century.
A unique Easter tradition founded primarily in England and Russia is the picking of pussy willows. As an ancient symbol that spring had finally arrived, it was viewed as good luck to be tapped on the shoulder by a branch of these soft blooms by a neighbor or loved one.
Though identified in modern times as a Christian Holy Day, Easter, the ancient celebration of spring, has roots far deeper than any one belief or culture. It reminds us that there is always a chance to plant our dreams anew; that the cold of winter will pass; and, that in the course of humankind, you can always plant again.

Easter traditions and origins
瞧，“春之女神”抱着她的小兔子向您招手了，很难想象吧？基督教最古老最有意义的一个节日，实际上是以古代北欧的黎明女神“伊奥斯特”命名的。伊奥斯特，原意是指“冬日逝去后春天的太阳从东方升起”，由于该词喻意“新生”，于是被基督教教徒借用，期冀“光明的.恩赐者耶稣再次回到人间”。
Easter traditions and symbols are abundant. But what are the origins of these Easter traditions? Learn the history of Easter traditions here.
The Easter Season
Easter is not only a holiday but a season unto itself. To many religious people, it marks a time of miracles and a reaffirming of faith. To those with a more secular view of the world, it is a celebration of the end of winter, a time to look toward the warmth of the coming summer and a chance to shed the heavy clothing of the winter for the bright colors of spring.
The Date of Easter
Goddess of the spring
Easter is a movable holiday, which is calculated as the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs on or after the vernal equinox. If the full moon falls on a Sunday, then Easter is the following Sunday. The holiday can occur anywhere between March 22 and April 25. This year Easter is April 16, 2006.
The pagan oigins Of Easter
Long before Easter became the holiday it is today, the spring festival was celebrated by the people around the world. The celebration was originally based on the lunar calendar. The name Easter is derived from the Saxon Eostre (which is synonymous with the name of the Phoenician Goddess of the Moon, Astartephoto), a Germanic goddess of spring and the deity who measured time.
The Christian origins of Easter
”For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it" (John 3:16-17).
As Christianity grew and spread throughout the world, it was common practice to adopt, modify, convert or take over existing non-Christian festivals. Because Eostre was the goddess of spring and her symbolism dealt with renewal and rebirth, the Christian belief in the resurrection of Christ fit well with these themes.
The Easter story of Jesus (photo )
Angels Adoring the Heart of Jesus, by Vicente Lopez Portana
On Good Friday , Jesus Christ was executed target=_blank class=infotextkey>executed by crucifixion. His body was taken down from the cross, and buried in a cave. The tomb was guarded and an enormous stone was put over the entrance, so that no-one could steal the body.
On the following Sunday, some women visited the grave and found that the stone had been moved, and that the tomb was empty. Jesus himself was seen that day, and for days afterwards by many people. His followers realised that God had raised Jesus from the dead.
The Easter Vigil Service (15 April 2006 )
The Easter Vigil service (photo) is the first Easter service, and takes place on the night of Holy Saturday. Holy Saturday is the Saturday after Good Friday which is often, but wrongly, called Easter Saturday.
The idea behind the service is for faithful Christians to wait and watch, hopeful and confident that Christ will return at midnight.
The Easter candle (photos) is lit during this service. The service traditionally begins outside the church, where minister and some worshippers gather around a fire - a charcoal brazier is common.
The service begins with words like these:
Brothers and sisters in Christ, on this most holy night, in which our Lord Jesus Christ passed over from death to life, the Church invites her members, dispersed throughout the world, to gather in vigil and prayer.
After being lit outside, the candle is carried into the church, where most of the worshippers are waiting in darkness, which symbolises the darkness of Christ's tomb.
Vocabulary:
vernal equinox: 春分
Eostre: 伊奥斯特，撒克逊黎明女神。它的原意是指“冬日逝去后春天的太阳从东方升起，把新生命带回”。由于该词喻意“新生”，于是被基督教教徒借用过来表示光明的恩赐者耶稣再次回到人间。
Phoenician: 腓尼基人的，生活于叙利亚沿岸
