最新资料推荐Module 4 Carnival话题导入 Easter is a movable festival celebrated on a Sunday between March 22 and April 25.We dont know exactly how this festival came into being.Some believed that it honored Easter，the goddess of spring time and sunrise.Her name comes from the word “east”，where the sun rises.Every spring，northern European people celebrated the Festival of Easter to honor the awakening of new life in nature.Later，Christians(基督教) related the rising of the sun to the Resurrection of Christ(耶稣的复活) and to their own spiritual(精神的) rebirth.
