复活节快到了。
超市里Chocolate Bunny and Eggs铺天盖地，让人联想起中秋时节，上海满城满街的月饼。还没有吃，嘴里就条件反射似的感到丝丝甜意。但比起口味的多样性，月饼却比巧克力胜上一筹。
办公室Manager热情地送来一大盆切开一半后涂上奶油的Hot Cross Buns，另加一大袋Chocolate Eggs，给大家共享。Morning Tea time, 一边品着现磨的浓郁的咖啡，一边咬上一口奶香柔软的Cross Buns，再抓上几粒Chocolate Eggs，不由自问：十字面包、小兔型和蛋型巧克力与复活节到底有什么样的关系？
苦思不如上网。
Easter, also called Pascha, is the most important religious feast in the Christian liturgical year . It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, which Christians believe occurred on the third day after his crucifixion around AD 33. Many non-religious cultural elements have become part of the holiday, and those aspects are often celebrated by many Christians and non-Christians alike.
Eggs, like rabbits and hares, are fertility symbols of extreme antiquity ; since birds lay eggs and rabbits and hares give birth (to large litters) in the early spring, these became symbols of the rising fertility of the earth at the Vernal Equinox .
In many historically Christian countries, the buns are traditionally eaten on Good Friday , with the cross standing as a symbol of the crucifixion . They are believed by some to pre-date Christianity , although the first recorded use of the term "hot cross bun" is not until 1733.
