Video Transcript
Easter, the holiest day of the Christian calendar, a celebration of Jesus Christ's
resurrection from the dead.
So what does this miracle have to do with a bunny delivering painted eggs? The
answer lies in a hundred generations of rituals and customs. (0:24) According to
the Gospels of the New Testament, Jesus Christ and his apostles entered
Jerusalem (0:28) to observe Passover.
(0:30) The Jewish holy season that celebrates the Hebrews' release from
slavery. (0:35) After the Passover supper, Jesus was arrested. (0:38) And on what
is now called Good Friday, he was crucified.
(0:41) Two days later, he rose from the dead. (0:44) Those of Jewish origin were
the first to celebrate the resurrection, likely as a new facet of (0:49) the Passover
festival. (0:51) In fact, the Easter celebration was called Pascha.
(0:54) It's derived from the word Pesach, the Jewish translation for
Passover. (1:00) Originally, Easter was celebrated two days after Passover, so it
fell on any day of the (1:05) week. (1:06) But Easter Wednesday just didn't feel
right.
(1:09) In 325 AD, Roman Emperor Constantine and the Council of Nicaea
ruled that Easter must fall (1:16) only on a Sunday, the day when Christ
rose. (1:20) Easter Sunday would be the first Sunday to follow the full moon
after the spring equinox. (1:25) It could occur anywhere between March
22nd and April 25th.
(1:29) Around this same time, Christians began one of the first recorded rituals of
the modern (1:34) Easter celebration, the lighting of the Paschal candle, its
flame a reminder of Christ's resurrection, (1:41) light out of
darkness. (1:42) As Christianity spread throughout Europe, different pagan
customs blended into the holidays. (1:47) In fact, the actual word Easter may
have come from Estra, the goddess of spring and fertility.
(1:54) Which brings us to the Easter egg. (1:57) Eggs have been a mythological
symbol of birth for thousands of years. (2:01) Christians adopted the egg as an
Easter custom sometime around the 13th century.
(2:06) The yolk inside a shell represented Christ's emergence from the
tomb. (2:10) Eggs were painted red to represent the blood Christ shed on the
cross. (2:15) The colorful Easter egg soon hatched its own traditions.
(2:19) A popular one was egg rolling. (2:21) In 1876, Congress prohibited kids
from playing on the Capitol grounds. (2:27) So President Rutherford B.
Hayes opened the White House lawn to the little rollers.
(2:32) After that, the White House Easter egg roll became a
tradition. (2:36) So when did that Easter bunny hop into the scene? (2:39) The
fertile rabbit had long been a symbol of new life in European pagan
celebrations. (2:44) Beginning around the 16th century, parents told children that
if they behaved, on the (2:49) eve of Easter, the Osterhase would come and lay
colorful eggs.
(2:54) Children built nests in their homes to entice the rabbit to
visit. (2:57) And so began the customs of the Easter egg hunt and the Easter
basket. (3:02) To help fill out those baskets, 19th century European chocolatiers
began making egg-shaped (3:08) chocolates.
(3:09) The sweet trend quickly spread throughout the world. (3:12) Today, billions
of dollars are spent each year on Easter candy. (3:17) Easter, it's a joyful day
when Christians celebrate the resurrection.
(3:22) For 2,000 years, customs have been added, some spiritual and some
fun. (3:27) But Easter is also the time for families to gather and welcome spring,
when new life (3:32) emerges after the dead of winter.
