Easter ☆ 復活祭

Easter is a festival to commemorate that Jesus Christ was revived by the third day after death, and to celebrate the coming of spring. Also, Easter is the mobile holiday which changes date by year (the next Sunday of the first full moon after the date of the vernal equinox), and it was April 5th in this year!

復活祭とは、イエス・キリストが死後3日目にして甦ったことを記念し、春の訪れを祝うお祭りです。また、年によって日付が変わる移動祝日（春分の日の後の最初の満月の次の日曜日）で、今年の復活祭は4月5日でした！

One of the indispensable things in Easter is eggs.　The egg is a symbol of death and resurrection, so many families in America decorate eggs and give them as gifts to each other for celebrating Easter.

イースターに欠かせないのが、卵 ！　これは死や復活の象徴で、アメリカでは、復活祭を祝って卵を装飾したり、それを贈りあったりします。

During my study abroad in America, I could look at many families decorating their lovely homes and gardens from the week before Easter, and I enjoyed eating the traditional Easter cuisine in the day.

For me, this was making my first Easter eggs and eating cornbread, traditional cuisine in my host family’s house.

アメリカ留学中、復活祭の前の週から、可愛らしく家や庭を飾る家庭が多くみられ、当日は伝統的な料理を楽しみました。

私にとって、初のイースターエッグ作り。そして、ホストファミリー家で伝統料理のコーンブレッド。

イースターの日の夕食

I thought it would be a good opportunity to try and make Easter here in Japan, so I tried to make Easter Eggs and corn bread with my friends this year! It was more difficult to blow out the contents of the raw eggs than I expected; however, we could make Easter eggs that represented everyone's personality.♡

せっかくなので今年もイースターエッグとコーンブレッドを日本の友人らと作ってみました(*´∀`*)♪卵の中身を取り出すのは、意外と難しかった。でも、みんなの個性あふれるイースターエッグができました♡
