Easter 复活节
The first Sunday after a full moon after March 21
复活节是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。
鸡蛋是复活节的象征,因为它预示着新生命的降临。人们把彩蛋放在地上滚,最后破裂者即为获胜,胜利者可以得到所有游戏者的彩蛋。人们相信,彩蛋在地上来回滚动可以使恶魔不断惊颤、倍受煎熬。
复活节的另一象征是小兔子,它具有极强的繁殖能力,人们视它为新生命的创造者。

万圣夜
传说公元前五百年,居住在爱尔兰、苏格兰等地的凯尔特人(Celts)认为10.31是夏天正式结束的日子,也就是严酷的冬天开始的一天。
那时的人们相信,故人的亡魂会在这一天回到故居地,在活人身上找寻生灵,借此再生。人们惧怕死人的灵魂来夺生,于是就在这一天熄掉所有光亮,让死人的魂灵无法找到自己,又把自己打扮成妖魔鬼怪,把死人的魂灵吓走。

传说有一个名叫杰克的人非常吝啬,因而死后不能进入天堂。因为他取笑魔鬼,他也不能进入地狱。
所以,他只能提着灯笼四处游荡,直到审判日那天。
人们为了在万圣夜吓走这些游魂,便用南瓜或马铃薯雕刻出可怕的面孔,来代表提着灯笼的杰克。
