Zanimljiva vaskršnja tradicija
Interesting Easter tradition
Vaskrs po gregorijanskom kalendaru ove godine dolazi 5, a po julijanskom 12. aprila
According to the Gregorian calendar, Easter this year falls on 5 th April, while it is on 12 th April according to the Julian calendar. Easter (alongside Christmas) is the most important holiday in Christianity, which commemorates the resur- rection of Jesus Christ. And do you know why it is cele- brated with eggs and bunnies? Easter Eggs: the egg has been a universal sym- bol of many religions for millennia, symbolising new li- fe, rebirth and fertility. Many countries celebrate Easter by organising „egg hunts“, with these eggs often being made of chocolate or made from plastic and filled with sweets. Children hunt for them with joy. Easter Bunny: What animal could better represent springtime fertility than the rabbit, which produces so many offspring? The “Easter bunny” that visits children on Easter morning is an “invention” of German Prote- stants. The symbolism isn’t particularly religious, rather it’s simply something fun to do with children.
To je (sa Božićem) najvažniji praznik u hrišć anstvu i slavi vaskrsenje Isusa Hrista. A da li znate zašto se u za- padnoj tradiciji obeležava jajima i zečić ima? Vaskršnja jaja: Jaje je bilo univerzalni simbol u mnogim religijama kroz milenijume, simbolizujuć i novi život, ponovno rođenje i plodnost. Mnoge zemlje Vaskrs slave organizujuć i lov na jaja, često plastična i punjena slatkišima, a deca ih sa radošć u traže.
Vaskršnji zeka: Koje životinje u proleće bolje predstavljaju plod- nost od zeca koji daje toliko po- tomaka? Zec, koji poseć uje de- cu na vaskršnje jutro, „izum“ je nemačkih protestanata, a sim- bolika nije posebno religiozna – prosto je nešto što je zabavno raditi sa decom.
