Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism, as well as by its position in the calendar. In many languages, the words for "Easter" and "Passover" are etymologically related or homonymous. Easter customs vary across the Christian world, but attending sunrise services, exclaiming the Paschal greeting, clipping the church and decorating Easter eggs, a symbol of the empty tomb, are common motifs. Additional customs include egg hunting, the Easter Bunny, and Easter parades, which are observed by both Christians and some non-Christians.
复活节(主复活日)是现今基督教徒的重要节日之一,定在每年春分月圆之后第一个星期日。基督徒认为,复活节象征重生与希望,乃纪念耶稣基督于公元33年被钉死后第三天复活的事迹。不过在现今,许多与复活节相关的民间风俗,都不是起源于基督教的。
在西方,与复活节相关的物品有复活节兔和复活节彩蛋。传说复活节彩蛋都是兔子的蛋(但事实上,兔子其实是不下蛋的,所以复活节彩蛋其实都是鸡蛋),有些人喜欢在蛋上画各种各样的鬼脸或花纹。而这些民间风俗都不是起源于基督教的。

《天主教百科全书》指出“复活节吸纳了许多庆祝春回大地的异教习俗。”蛋象征初春一切恢复生机,兔子象征多产和生命力。如今依然流行的复活节庆祝活动,充分证明了复活节含有浓厚的巴比伦色彩。今天人们在耶稣受难日吃十字包和在复活节吃彩蛋,这些宗教习俗可见于迦勒底的宗教仪式中。
