Happy Easter: Resurrection, Egg Hunting, and the Easter Bunny! Posted by on Apr 20, 2014 in Arabic Language, Culture

Marhaba! As you know millions of Christians around the world are celebrating Easter today on Sunday April 20th. It is a Christian holiday and festival celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion. Easter is preceded by Lent, which is a 40 day period of penance, fasting, and prayer. Easter is linked to the Jewish holiday and festival Passover by much of its symbolism and position in the calendar. In some languages, the words Easter and Passover are identical. Easter customs vary from one place to another. In most places of the world, Christians go to church at the break of dawn on the day of Easter and then decorate Easter eggs. Additional customs have emerged with Eastern season, such as egg hunting (which includes Christians and non-Christians), Easter parades, and various types of chocolate decorated by Easter bunnies.

Given the many customs that have emerged with Easter, I have created an Arabic crossword puzzle reflecting on different words that you should learn to talk about this holiday and these associated activities in Arabic! Similar to previous crossword puzzles, this exercise allows you to have fun as you learn about different things related to the Easter holiday in Arabic. Please search vertically, horizontally and diagonally. I will post the answers to this crossword puzzle soon! Enjoy!!

Salam everyone! Born as an American to two originally Arab parents, I have been raised and have spent most of my life in Beirut, Lebanon. I have lived my good times and my bad times in Beirut. I was but a young child when I had to learn to share my toys and food with others as we hid from bombs and fighting during the Lebanese Civil War. I feel my connection to Arabic as both a language and culture is severing and so it is with you, my readers and fellow Arabic lovers, and through you that I wish to reestablish this connection by creating one for you.
