The last Sunday before Easter (Palm Sunday) is called Willow Sunday (Verbna nedilia). On this day pussy-willow branches are blessed in the church. The people tap one another with these branches, repeating the wish: “Be as tall as the willow, as healthy as the water, and as rich as the earth”.

Christians believe according to Bible, that Jesus came back to life, or was raised from the dead, three days after his death on the cross.

Easter in England

Easter is a religious holiday in Great Britain. It is the time for holidays, festivals and the day of parties, and above all a celebration that Jesus ____________and lives forever. People________ new clothes on Easter. They believe this will bring good luck to them.

The tradition is very old. On Good Friday, people eat fish instead of meat. They also eat special hot cakes__________. They call these cakes hot cross buns.

Egg-rolling is a traditional Easter pastime which still flourishes in Britain. It takes place on Easter Sunday or Monday, and consists of rolling coloured, hard-boiled eggs down a slope until they are cracked and broken after which they are eaten by their owners. In some districts this is a __________game. But originally egg-rolling provided an opportunity for divination. Each player marked his or her egg with an identifying sign and then watched to see how it sped down the slope.

V. Развитие умений и навыков аудирования.

Teacher:

1. Children, we’ll go on to get acquainted with the Easter symbols. Listen to the text and be ready to name all of them.

One of the oldest spring symbols in the world is the egg. Eggs are a symbol of a new life. The cross was also a well-known symbol before the time of Christ. It was used as a special mark on clothes and buildings. However, when Jesus was crucified, the cross became a symbol of suffering. The lamb is a sign of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Candles symbolize Jesus, "the light of the world". Palm branches represent the time when Jesus arrived in Jerusalem on the first Palm Sunday and people waved palm branches, welcoming him.

Bunnies, chicks and flowers (especially lilies and daffodils) are also associated with Easter because they are born in the spring. The tradition of the Easter Hare or Easter Bunny comes from a Northern European legend. Long ago in a small village the mothers had no money to buy their children presents for Easter. They painted eggs with lots of beautiful pictures and hid them in the forest near the village. When the children went to play in the forest on Easter Sunday they saw the eggs but they didn't know where they came from. Suddenly a hare ran out from behind a pile of eggs and the children started shouting: “They are hare's eggs!".
