A. Leiam o texto abaixo. / Read the text below.

In Christianity, Easter is one of the most important days of the year. Easter Sunday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ – the day Jesus came back to life. In many Catholic countries, Easter is a more important celebration than Christmas. Jesus had returned to Jerusalem to observe the Jewish celebration of Passover. He ate the Passover meal with his disciples at what is now known as the Last Supper. He was later arrested, tried and convicted, and then finally sentenced to death. On Good Friday (before Easter Sunday), Christians commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus. Easter is a 'moveable feast', meaning the date changes. It’s not a fixed date like Christmas, which is always on December 25th. It was decided in 325 A.D. that Easter Sunday would be on the 1st Sunday after the first full moon of spring. It is only in English and German that this day is called 'Easter'. England adopted the name used for the spring festival Eostre in Germany. In most other languages in Christian countries, (like French, Italian, and Spanish), the word for this day is derived from the original Greek word 'Pascha' used for the Jewish Passover. - englishteachermelanie adaptado

[pic 1] Easter Sunday is a happy day. On Easter Sunday, Jesus' friends learned that he was alive again. They went to the cave where Jesus had been buried. The huge rock that had blocked the door of the cave was rolled away. The cave was empty.

[pic 2]Then they saw an angel. The angel told them, "Jesus is not here. He has risen just like He promised!" Jesus was alive again. His friends were very happy.

Some of His friends did not believe that Jesus had really come back to life. They did not believe until He came to see them. Then they were happy too.

Jesus promised that everyone who believed on Him would someday live with Him. Many Christians celebrate that promise by going to church on Easter Sunday. Some go very early when the sun is coming up. Others go later in the day. Many people wear their best clothes. The churches are full of flowers. The people sing joyful hymns. They remember the story of the resurrection. Then, they go home to celebrate with family or friends.
