Most English holidays have a religious origin．Easter is originally the day to commemorate1） the Resurrection2） of Jesus Christ．But now for most people，Easter is a secular spring holiday，when everyone hopes to enjoy fine weather，when the days are lengthening fast，when trees are already in bud and leaf，and spring flowers appear，the most welcome of the year――violets，daffodils3） and narcissi4）．For children，Easter means more than anything else，Easter eggs or chocolate eggs．
