Lesson progress:
The history of Easter is a journey through the millennia. Leafing through its pages, you can discover something new every time, because the history of the origin of Easter is an interweaving of traditions, beliefs and customs.
Let's go on this journey! Do you agree?
Easter feast of the Light Christ's Resurrection We joyfully meet Easter And we sing: "Christ is risen! We all unanimously answer: “He has truly risen!” Years pass in succession Under the azure sky. And the people everywhere sing: “He is truly risen!” Joy and hugs are everywhere: “Brother, sister, Christ is risen! Hell is destroyed, there is no curse: He is truly risen! (V. Kuzmenkov)
Jesus Christ was sent by God to earth for our salvation from sins (bad deeds)
He was kind, fair, never condemned anyone and fought evil.
The kings were afraid that Jesus Christ would himself become the ruler of the whole world. And they executed Him - they crucified Him on the cross.
Jesus Christ was executed on Friday. At this time, the earth shook and stones fell from the rocks and mountains. For people it was the saddest and most mournful day. Today this day is called GOOD FRIDAY.
After the execution, the disciples of Christ removed his body from the cross and put it in a cave and closed the entrance to it with a huge stone.
On Sunday, the women came to the cave and saw that the entrance to it was open. The women were very surprised that such a huge and heavy stone was moved away.
An angel gave good news about miraculous resurrection Christ. Christ is risen, which means he became immortal.
One of the women, Mary Magdalene, decided to inform the Roman emperor about the resurrection of Christ. She gave the emperor an egg, which symbolized a miracle. But the emperor said to Mary: “It is rather that this egg will turn red than I will believe that Jesus has risen.”
The egg immediately turned red ... Since then, there has been a tradition of painting eggs for Easter.
The bright holiday of the Resurrection-Christ has its own traditions, customs, symbols and ancient rituals associated with them.
Easter fire, spring water of the stream, a wreath, eggs, Easter cakes - all these are symbols of the Great Day and have roots in the distant past.
Fire protected our ancestors from predatory animals and evil spirits, people made fires to drive away winter and meet spring faster. The Easter fire embodied the power of the hearth.
The Easter wreath is a symbol of eternal life.
The egg symbolized the small miracle of birth. There are many customs with the egg. Our ancestors wrote prayers, magic spells and signs on them. Deep meaning is embedded in simple patterns. For example, a circle symbolizes the bright sun, and wavy lines symbolize the oceans and seas.
On the holiday, egg fights are popular at the Easter meal, or "choking" eggs, as the people say. This is a simple and fun game: someone holds an egg with its nose up, and the "rival" beats it with the nose of another egg. Whoever's shell did not crack, he won and continues to "clink glasses" with another person.
The holiday lasted all Bright Week, the table remained set, invited to the table, treated, especially those who could not or did not have such an opportunity.
Easter - main holiday Christian calendar. No wonder it is called "holidays a holiday and a celebration of celebrations."

Hello guys, today we will talk about the bright holiday - Easter.
Why is this holiday called Easter?
The name "Easter" comes from the Greek πάσχα. There is this word in Latin, but it was formed from the Hebrew "Pesach", which in translation means "passed by" or "deliverance".
It was believed that on this day the destroying angel did not touch the inhabitants, since in their houses the jambs of windows and doors were smeared with the blood of a lamb. This sacrifice was called Easter. The holiday was celebrated by the Jews even before the birth of Christ.
Easter is the biggest and brightest holiday christian church. People have been preparing for Easter for a very long time, and this preparation is called Great Lent (7 weeks), these days you can not eat meat, milk, eggs. But even at this time, each person should seriously think about himself, about his deeds - good and bad, about his deeds - good and not so, he must understand what he did wrong and correct it.
What happens before Easter?
During fasting in Rus', they did not celebrate cheerful, noisy holidays, they did not play weddings. Easter is the feast of the Holy Resurrection of Christ.
How long has this holiday been around?
The first Easter was celebrated by the ancient Jews 1500 years before the birth of Christ in connection with the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt under the leadership of the prophet Moses. The Old Testament Passover marked the deliverance of the Jewish people from Egyptian slavery, and the word "Passover" in Hebrew means "exodus", "deliverance". The New Testament, Christian Pascha was established by the apostles shortly after the death on the cross and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and was filled with new meaning. This is a celebration of victory over death.
In Russia, Holy Pascha has always occupied a special place in the spiritual life of people, since ideas about the eternal renewal of life, about the rebirth and purification of the human soul were associated with it. Holidays, and especially such bright ones as Easter, united people in a single feeling, mood and state of mind. Such holidays spiritually united disunited people. They brought families together. Family members, albeit for a short time, gathered together, united by a common cause: preparation for the holiday, a joyful feeling, a cheerful feast.
Why do you think this holiday brought the whole family together?
And now Easter, and with it those rituals, customs that have evolved over the centuries, are returning to Russian soil.
What customs or rituals do you know?
For a long time it has been kept in Orthodox Church the custom of giving eggs on Easter. This custom originated from Saint Mary Magdalene, when, after the Ascension of Christ, she came to Rome to preach the Gospel, appeared before the emperor Tiberius and, offering him a red egg, said: "Christ is Risen!" thus beginning his sermon. Following the example of St. Mary Magdalene, we now give red eggs on Easter, confessing the life-giving death and the Resurrection of the Lord - two events that Easter unites in itself. The Easter egg is a sign of the resurrection of the dead. As from an egg, from under its inanimate shell, life is born, so from the tomb, Christ arose, and so will rise in eternal life and all the dead. An egg is a small miracle, it is a symbol of life. The custom of dyeing eggs is rooted in antiquity. It used to be considered a red egg - a symbol of the sun, a new business, a new life. To new house it turned out beautiful, smart, strong, and life in the new house was happy, an egg was laid in the foundation of the house. Before starting the spring sowing, the egg was crushed and scattered over the fresh furrows in the ground. Then there will be a good harvest. When a foal was born, the owner ran an egg along the back of the foal so that it would not get sick, and grew into a strong horse. Since ancient times, on Easter Day, people have presented each other with colored eggs, gathered at the festive table to taste Easter dishes: Easter cake and Easter.
Do you think Easter is celebrated in other countries?
This holiday is celebrated differently in other countries.
In Bulgaria, hundreds of large and small clay pots made before Easter and decorated with good wishes are thrown from the upper floors to commemorate the Easter victory over evil. Any passer-by can take a shard from a broken pot for good luck.
In Russia and Serbia, Easter eggs are “Christened” by breaking different ends in turn, just as people are christened three times on their cheeks. Children arrange "pokatushki" - whose egg rolls further.
In some countries of Europe and North America, it is customary to hide Easter eggs on Easter morning. Children waking up in the morning immediately begin to search the whole house in search of eggs. As a result of the search, the kids discover the Easter Bunny's "nest" with many colorful eggs. As a symbol of fertility and wealth, the Easter Bunny has been a symbol of Easter in Germany since the 16th century and has since spread throughout the world. In the form of bunnies, toys and sweets are made, as well as souvenirs that sometimes make up entire families or different professions.
In Australia: Easter eggs of various sizes made of chocolate or sugar are especially popular. Even in this country, they like to make Easter figurines in the form of a rabbit or the original animals of the Australian continent. It turns out that the rare animal of the Bible, living exclusively in Australia, may even soon become the Easter symbol of the state. So Australian scientists are trying to prevent the extinction of this species, drawing wide public attention to this important environmental problem. The traditional Australian Easter menu consists of roast lamb, beef or chicken with an abundance of vegetables (potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, beans, peas or broccoli). For dessert, the most commonly served sweet Australian Easter dish is a meringue cake garnished with fruit, kiwi, strawberries, pineapples, and tangerines. Sweet hot buns are very popular, which Australians eat for breakfast on Easter morning before the obligatory visit to church. On Easter in Australia, many families go to nature (to the coast, or to the mountains), because where we have spring, they have the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.

2.2. The history of the holiday "Easter. Student report.
Teacher. The life of Christ did not end with His death. And what happened to him, Zina will tell us. Report and PRESENTATION.
Jesus Christ was sent by God to earth for our salvation from sins (bad deeds) over 2000 years ago. so that we can go to heaven after death. He walked a lot around his country, spoke to people about God, love, the path to eternal life, showed miracles, healing the sick. He could even raise the dead, foresee the future, because Jesus was the son of God.
Many believed him, people even wanted him to become their king. The kings were afraid that He would take away their power and therefore they hated him, he dreamed of getting rid of him. But they didn't know Him. But here comes the last week earthly life of Jesus Christ. It is called passionate, because at this time of His great suffering.
Among the disciples of Jesus Christ there was one who valued money more than anything else. His name was Judas. He decided to point to Jesus to the villains in order to receive a reward for this. Judas went up to the Teacher and kissed Him. This was a sign for the villains, and they seized Jesus. And Judas was paid 30 silver coins for the betrayal.
Jesus was interrogated, tortured, mocked at Him. They wanted Him to renounce all his words, but the Son of God steadfastly endured cruel torments. Finally, it was decided to execute Him, moreover, the most terrible execution of that time, to which only the most dangerous criminals were subjected.
This execution was the crucifixion of a man on a cross. I. Christos endured terrible pains, but not with a single word did He offend his tormentors, who stabbed Him with spears and smeared vinegar on His lips. On the contrary, He prayed for them.
At the moment of His death, the earth trembled, rocks fell down. This is the most mournful day of the year for Christians, they call it Good Friday.
The disciples of Christ buried Him in a cave. On the morning of the next day, they came and saw that the tomb was empty, an angel was sitting, who said: “In vain do you look for the living among the dead. Jesus has resurrected"
After Sunday, the disciples and friends of Christ were amazed at how his body had changed. They said that the body of Christ became radiant, airy. It could instantly appear and disappear, pass through walls.
Teacher. So why did the people in this story make a holiday?
Teacher. All the people who loved Him were very worried. But on the third day after death (on Sunday) a miracle happened: Jesus Christ rose from the dead. And this miracle of resurrection became the greatest holiday - Easter! Christians believe that one day the same thing will happen to them as to Jesus Christ. They will rise. He did not remain a prisoner of death, which means that people believed that they would not remain either. One day God will bring them back to life too.

Tradition says that after the Resurrection of the Lord, St. Mary Magdalene traveled around many countries with a sermon about the Risen One. She came to Rome, to the imperial palace. In those distant times, everyone who came to the emperor always brought some kind of gift: the rich - jewelry, and the poor - what they could. Mary had nothing with her except her faith in Christ. She handed the emperor a simple chicken egg and immediately loudly pronounced the main news: “Christ is risen!”. The emperor was surprised and said: “How can you believe that someone can rise from the dead? It’s hard to believe that, as well as the fact that this white egg can turn red! While he was saying these words, the egg began to change its color: it turned pink, darkened, and finally turned bright red. This is how the first Easter egg was given.
Since then, for many hundreds of years at Easter, people give each other colored eggs. Village craftsmen prepared wooden eggs for Easter - eggs painted by hand with plot or ornamental patterns. And well-known jewelry firms created works of art from porcelain and crystal, gold and silver, from colored and transparent glass, from bone and stone ... eggs painted in one color were called eggs; if on a general colored background spots, stripes, specks of a different color were indicated - it was a speck.
Eggs were usually dyed red, but over time, other colors began to be used. Slide

You said everything correctly. The life of Christ did not end with His death. After the crucifixion, Christ returned to life - resurrected.
The word "Passover" is Hebrew. Passover is an ancient holiday dedicated to the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. In the Christian church, the word "Easter" received a special meaning and began to mean "transition from death to life." Easter is associated with the events of the Resurrection of Christ. On the third day after the burial of Christ, early Sunday morning, Mary, Salome, Mary Magdalene and John the disciple of Christ went to the tomb to bring incense intended for the body of Jesus. Approaching, they saw that the large stone blocking the entrance to the tomb had been rolled away, the tomb was empty, and an angel was sitting on the stone. The women were very scared. The angel said: “Do not be afraid, I know what you are looking for: Jesus crucified. He is not here. He is risen, as he said. With fear and joy, the women hastened to announce to everyone about what they saw.
In Rus', Easter has been celebrated since the 10th century.(slide 3)
What do the words - resurrection, Easter, Jesus mean? (possible answers of children)
Sunday is the day of the renewal of life;
Easter - "transition", "deliverance", "liberation";
Jesus - "God saves", "Savior"
And they began to celebrate Easter by establishing the first Ecumenical Council since 325. On this day, they celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who by his death atoned for people's sins and, having risen, delivered people from the power of death.
Easter is celebrated in the spring. The date changes every year. It is determined by the order of natural phenomena: the full moon and the spring equinox. As a rule, this is the first Sunday after the first spring full moon.(slide 4)
What happens before Easter? (possible answers of children)
Seven weeks before the holiday, Orthodox Christians enter the time of Great Lent.
What is a post? (children's answers)
(slide 5)
