复活节，是个很有宗教色彩的一个节日，日期不固定，在每年的四月 （今年是 4月16日）。几天前灶友@灶子龙 问起我这个节日，提醒了我，以后我会在适当的时候给大家介绍美国的节日和其背景。下面是对复活节的介绍，让你分分钟变成地道的“local”（当地人）。
Easter is a Christian feast that commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is one of the most holy days in the calendar of Christian churches. Easter symbolizes God's promise that man's soul is immortal. It usually involves the Easter Bunny and eggs. The Easter Bunny is a symbol of fertilizaiton and new life. The egg represents rebirth in many cultures, thus it's associated with Easter.
On Easter Sunday, it's a custom for children to hunt colored eggs and place them in an Easter basket. Most churches have the Easter egg hunt. Many people also host an Easter party in their household, usually it includes an Easter egg hunt.
Easter Egg Roll is a traditional event hosted by the White House since 1878.
