复活节是西方的一个重要节日，在每年春分3月21日月圆之后第一个星期日。每年春分不固定，节期大致在3月21日至4月25日。基督徒认为，复活节象征着重生与希望，为纪念耶稣基督被钉死在十字架之后第三天复活的日子。复活节，如很多节日一样都有着自己的传统和习俗。
复活兔（邦尼兔）
依据欧洲古老的传说，野兔是一种终日不闭眼的动物。它们能在黑夜里，观看四周其他的动物，因此，野兔就代表着黑夜中一轮皎洁的明月。再加上复活节日子的计算是以春天月圆为基准，于是就将春天繁殖力强的野兔视为复活节的一个象征。这习俗传入美国后，美国人还为兔子取了一个可爱的名字，叫它复活节的邦尼兔！
The Easter Bunny or Easter Hare is a character depicted as a rabbit bringing Easter eggs， who sometimes is depicted with clothes. In legend， the creature brings baskets filled with colored eggs， candy and sometimes also toys to the homes of children of Christmas， as they both bring gifts to children on the night before their respective holiday.
复活节彩蛋
蛋象征新生命。坚硬的蛋壳无法限制里面正在孕育的新生命。耶稣基督为了我们的罪而被钉死在十字架上，葬在坟墓里，但坟墓无法关住他。他第三天复活了，使相信他的人得到新的生命。蛋，便成为复活节常用的象征物之一。蛋意味着春天的到来及新生命的诞生，并象征着耶稣由死复活走出石墓。
Easter eggs are special eggs that are often given to celebrate Easter or springtime. The egg is a pagan symbol of the rebirth of the Earth in celebrations of spring and was adopted by early Christians as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus.
复活节百合花
百合花象征神圣与纯洁。人们喜爱以在春天、复活节左右盛开的百合花来代表耶稣基督的圣洁。另外，形状像喇叭的百合花，也像是在大声宣扬耶稣基督复活的好消息。
Lily stands for the holiness and purity. Flowers blooming near the Easter Day seem to tell us the good news that Jesus has resurrected from the death.
