What we read today
Húsvétról Gyerekszemmel
Húsvét elött ha a gyerekekkel búzát ültetünk, a
búza megfigyelése erösiti bennünk, hogy nem a
külsö nagyság a fontos, hanem a bennünk
lévö csíra ereje.
A búza csírázásának, növekedésének
figyelemmel kísérése segít megtanulni várakozni.
Összeköt múltat és jövö.
A húsvéti nyúl nem közönséges mezei vagy
házinyúl. Láthatatlan, külsö hatalommal bír.
Önfeláldozó, éber, az Én szimbóluma.
Húsvét után négy hétig még a Húsvéthoz
kapcsolódó idösszakot élünk. Ilyenkor
kedvezö az idö; az elemekkel való találkozásra:
ásás,
locsolás, ugrókötelezés, takarítás

Easter's History
The Christian festival of Easter celebrates the
resurrection of Jesus Christ. The spring
festival has its roots in the Jewish Passover,
which commemorates Israel's deliverance from the
bondage of Egypt, and in the Christian
reinterpretation of its meaning after the
crucifixion of Jesus during the Passover of AD
c.30 and the proclamation of his resurrection
three days later.
Early Christians observed Easter on the same day
as Passover (14-15 Nisan, a date governed by a
lunar calendar). In the 2d century, the
Christian celebration was transferred to the
Sunday following the 14-15 Nisan, if that day
fell on a weekday. Originally, the Christian
Easter was a unitive celebration, but in the 4th
century Good Friday became a separate
commemoration of the death of Christ, and Easter
was thereafter devoted exclusively to the
resurrection. According to the Venerable Bede,
the name Easter is derived from the pagan spring
festival of the Anglo- Saxon goddess Eostre, and
many folk customs associated with Easter (for
example, Easter eggs) are of pagan origin
Easter Day is currently determined as the first
Sunday after the full moon on or after March 21.
The Eastern Orthodox churches, however, follow
the Julian rather than the Gregorian calendar,
so their celebration usually falls several weeks
later than the Western Easter. Easter is
preceded by the period of preparation called Lent.

Good Friday
Good Friday is the Christian commemoration of
the death of Jesus Christ, observed on the
Friday before Easter. Originally, it was a day
of fasting in preparation for the unitive
celebration of the death-
resurrection-exaltation of Jesus; no liturgy was
held on that day.
In the 4th century, at Jerusalem, a procession
was staged from Gethsemane to the sanctuary of
the cross, followed by readings about the
passion. This was the beginning of the Good
Friday observance as it is now known. In the
Catholic tradition, the liturgy of the day
consists of reading the passion, the ceremony of
the veneration of the cross, and communion from
the sacrament consecrated the day before. The
service of preaching on the seven last words, of
Jesuit origin, has become popular in Protestantism.

1/2 cup finely chopped celery and carrots
12 egg shells
Lettuce

the fruit salad into the opening. Cover the hole
with cellophane or adhesive tape, and set into
custard or muffin cups. Chill until the gelatin

additional sauce. Remove ham from oven and score
fat into diamond shapes. Insert a clove into
each diamond. Bake ham an additional 30 minutes
or until a meat thermometer inserted into the
thickest part of meat registers 140 degrees. Let
ham rest 15 minutes before carving. Makes 10 to
12 servings.
