复活节的中文简介
在欧美各国，复活节是仅次于圣诞节的重大节日。按《圣经-马太福音》的说法，耶稣基督在十字架上受刑死后三天复活，因而设立了复活节。
复活节是纪念耶稣复活，也是基督教最重要的一个节日。据圣经记载，上帝的儿子耶稣降生在马槽里，当他三十岁的时候，挑选十二个学生，开始传道工作。三年半中，他医病、传道、赶鬼，帮助各样有需要的人，将天国的道理说给人听。一直到上帝所安排的时候到了，耶稣基督被门徒犹大出卖，被捉拿、审问，被罗马兵丁钉死在十字架上，临死前曾预言三日后必复活。果然在第三日，耶稣复活了!按圣经的解释，耶稣基督乃道成肉身的圣子，来世上为要赎世人的罪，成为世人的代罪羔羊，这也是为什么复活节如此重要了。

节日意义：
我们过节不仅是纪念耶稣的复活，而是与耶稣一同经过死亡的过程而后进入复活的光荣。复活节弥撒的经文中把十一世纪初Conrad 王宫廷司铎魏玻神父（Wipo）於所作歌曲纳入，在复活八日庆期中歌咏或朗诵。中世纪所发展的宗教戏剧是由此首圣诗得到初步的启发。魏玻的诗句很自然地提示给复活剧这极生动的一景：玛利亚，请告诉我们，你在路上看见了什?我看见永生基督的坟墓，和他复活后无比的光荣，还看见天使作证，又有汗巾和殓布。基督「我的期望已经复活，他要先你们而去加里肋亚。我们知道，基督确实从死者中复活了。
在中世纪，所有的基督徒在复活节日出之时庆祝，因为依据古老的传说，太阳在复活节清晨欢喜跳跃三次，以光荣耶稣的复活，穿云而出的光芒有如天使般欢舞。欧洲的民众在复活节清晨聚集在旷野或山顶观看日出的光辉，在破晓之时鸣炮与钟声，乐队与圣咏团以阿肋路亚及赞美歌声来庆祝像徵耶稣升起的上升太阳。至今在奥地利阿尔卑斯山区仍保有这种清晨致敬习惯。
