Christians are followers of Jesus Christ who lived about 2000 years ago in a country called Palestine（巴勒斯坦）. They believe that Jesus was the son of God. At Easter time Christians remember the last week of Jesus life. Where does Easter get its name from? One belief is that Easter got its name from the Goddess of Spring called Eostre who some people worshipped（膜拜，做礼拜） long before Jesus was born. At that time it was thought that the sun died in winter and was born again in spring when days would lengthen and the sun’s power would return. In Europe, Eostre was honoured as the bringer of spring. When is Easter? Easter Day is always on a Sunday, but the date varies from year to year (unlike Christmas which is always on December 25). Many years ago Christians decided that Easter Day should be always be on the Sunday following the first full moon after the first day of Spring on March 21. This means that Easter can be as early as 22 March or as late as 25 April. For this reason Easter is called a movable（可动的） feast. What is Good Friday? On Good Friday Christians remember the day that Jesus was killed on the cross (crucified钉在十字架上处死) by Roman soldiers. It is known as Good Friday because Christians believe that Jesus gave up his life for the good of everyone. What do Christians celebrate on Easter Sunday? Easter Sunday is a happy day for Christians because they believe that Jesus rose from the dead (resurrection) and ascended（上升） into heaven on this day They believe that Jesus resurrection or coming alive shows that death is not the end of everything.
