很多人会好奇，这祭奠逝者的中国清明节和庆祝新生的西方复活节居然能撞车，还真是多少年才能轮到一次。
其实这还真不全是巧合。
你可能以为清明节是个农历节日，其实不然。与中国其他传统节日不同，清明节是根据与太阳相关的春分点来决定的。其日期基本就是在阳历4月4日至6日之间，根据具体误差进行修正。
而复活节也是根据春分来定日期的西方节日，是春分月圆之后的第一个星期日，日期大致在4月左右。所以说二者还是有一定概率撞车的。
我们先来简单看看复活节是一个怎样的节日：
Easter Sunday:
Easter is a Christian holiday celebrating the return of Jesus from the dead, after the Romans crucified him around 30 C.E. (C.E. means Common Era. This is more modern than A.D.) His resurrection was said to have occurred three days after he died, on Resurrection Sunday.
（复活节周日：复活节是一个基督教庆祝耶稣死而复生的节日。在罗马人于公元30年钉死耶稣后，他的复活据说出现在其死后的第三天，在复活星期天）
Easter Egg:
Since antiquity, the egg has symbolized new life and being reborn, or rebirth. Under Christianity, it became associated with the resurrection of Jesus.
（复活节彩蛋：自古以来，蛋就被认为是新生和重生的象征。在基督教文化里，这与耶稣的复活产生了联系）
Easter Bunny:
In many cultures, rabbits are known for being enthusiastic procreators. So the arrival of so many baby bunnies became associated with birth, renewal, and Easter. The Easter Bunny is eagerly awaited by children everywhere, when it delivers candy and chocolate eggs on Easter morning.
（复活节小兔子：在许多文化里，兔子被认为热衷于繁殖，所以小兔子的到来就与出生、万物复苏和复活节产生了联系。在复活节早上各地的孩子们会焦急地等待复活节小兔子带来糖果和巧克力。）
今天不仅是我们悼念逝者的节日，也是一个企盼新生的节日，又是咱们微信听歌的日子。这“死去活来”一番，到底听什么歌比较应景呢？
华生思来想去，掉了一缕缕头发，最终在歌单里为你挑出来了这么一首歌：它是唱歌逝者听的，却又蕴含着生的力量和希望。这首歌的名字就叫：
《Mary, Did You Know?》
歌词（可向下滑动）
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you.
Mary, did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God.
Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know?..
Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know?..
The blind will see, the deaf will hear and the dead will live again.
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb.
Mary, did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
That sleeping child you're holding is the great I am.
Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know?..
Mary，即耶稣的母亲“圣母玛利亚”。而这首歌，就是以后来者的口吻告诉玛利亚，她的孩子有多么值得她自豪。
于清明节来说，这首歌可以是看作是对逝去亲人的追思。
于复活节来说，这首歌也能使人感受到新生的希望和力量。
让这两者结合在一起，在其宗教意义所剩无几的今天，让我们“死去活来”一番，好好感叹生命的不易和伟大吧。
