Where does the name 'Easter' come from?
Easter comes from

the Anglo-Saxon name for the month of April, which means “opening" in the Anglo-Saxon language and since Pascha was most often celebrated in Eostremonath (April), the English Christians began calling it "Easter".

Слайд 9

Where does the name 'Easter' come from?
The month was named

after the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre. Rituals related to the goddess Eostre focus on new beginnings, symbolized by the Easter egg, and fertility, which is symbolized by the hare (or Easter bunny).

Слайд 10

EASTER TIME
Easter usually comes in the month of April. However,

Easter can fall as early as March 22 or as late as April 25. Easter is called a moveable feast because the date of Easter changes every year. The reason for this variation in the date of Easter is based on the lunar calendar rather than our more well-known solar one.

Слайд 11

EASTER TIME
Easter always falls on the first Sunday following the full

Moon (the Paschal Full Moon) after 21 March. If the Full Moon falls on a Sunday then Easter is the next Sunday.

What happened on Easter Sunday?
It was on Easter Sunday that

Jesus rose from death. Jesus had told his disciples before he was arrested that he would be crucified and on the third day he would rise from the dead.

Слайд 13

What happened on Easter Sunday?
Sunday was the third day from

Good Friday (Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Day). So Good FridaySunday was the third day from Good Friday (Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Day). So Good Friday is the day on which Jesus was crucified and Easter Day is the day on which Jesus came back to life.

The Traditional Egg Gift
The first eggs given at Easter were birds’

eggs. These eggs were painted in bright colors to give them further meaning as a gift.
As chocolate became more wide spread in the 20th Century, a chocolate version of the traditional painted egg was developed. The size of the chocolate egg has grown over the years and is now more likely to be the size of an ostrich egg rather than a small bird’s egg.

Слайд 15

Easter Egg Hunt
Small chocolate eggs are hidden for the children

to find on the traditional Easter Egg Hunt. In recent years this game has been linked to the Easter Bunny, which only arrived in England relatively recently.
