Слайд 7 Easter
Prior to A.D. 325, Easter was

variously celebrated on different days of the week, including

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Therefore, Easter must be celebrated on a Sunday between the dates of March 22 and April 25. The Easter Bunny is not a modern invention. The symbol originated with the pagan festival of Eastern. The goddess, Eastern, was worshipped by the Anglo-Saxons through her earthly symbol, the rabbit. As with the Easter Bunny and the holiday itself, the Easter Egg predates the Christian holiday of Easter. The exchange of eggs in the springtime is a custom that was centuries old when Easter was first celebrated by Christians. Today, children hunt colored eggs and place them in Easter baskets along with the modern version of real Easter eggs -- those made of plastic or chocolate candy.

time centered upon the summer solstice, but more often

The exact dates vary between different cultures. The term is almost never used to refer to astronomical mid-summer, approximately August 5.
