III. Sentence Paraphrase:
14. (Para. 20) Easter Day
(1) Origin of Easter Day: Easter is a religious festival celebrating the resurrection (复活) of Christ observed on the first Sunday after the Spring Equinox (春分).
(2) Some Symbols of Easter Day
(a) Easter Bunny
• The Easter bunnies have become the most favorite Easter symbol. It's universal in its appeal. And, most important of all, it relates to Easter historically.
• Also the hare and eggs have something to do with the Anglo-Saxon spring goddess Eostre. Possibly, this is because both of them were regarded to be emblems of fertility.
(b) Easter Egg
As with the Easter bunny and the holiday itself, the Easter egg predates (先于) the Christian holiday of Easter. The exchange of eggs in the springtime is a custom that was centuries old when Easter was first celebrated by Christians.
