What are Karfiertag, Ostersonntag and Ostermontag?
Karfreitag means Good Friday in Russian. On this day, the Germans remember how Jesus died, how he was taken down from the cross.

According to legend, Mary Magdalene gave the emperor Tiberius an egg as a symbol of the Resurrection of Christ. At the same time, she said: “Jesus is risen!”. However, Tiberius, who did not want to believe it, replied: "Just as a white egg cannot become red, so the dead cannot rise." However, as soon as he said those words, the white egg turned red. Although eggs are dyed in different colors, red is traditional, as the color of life and victory.
Nach der Überlieferung hat Maria Magdalena ein Ei als Symbol der Auferstehung von Christus dem römischen Kaiser Tiberius geschenkt. Dazu sagte sie: "Christus ist auferstenden!". Doch Tiberius, der das nicht glauben wollte, antwortete: “So wenig wie ein weißes Ei rot werden kann, so wenig kann ein Toter wieder auferstehen.” Doch kaum hatte er diese Worte gesprochen, verwandelte sich das weiße Ei in ein rotes Ei. Obwohl die Eier mit verschiedenen Farben bemalt werden, ist die rote Farbe traditionell als die Farbe des Lebens und des Sieges.
folk customs
In German-speaking countries, children look for painted chicken eggs and sweets hidden by a Christmas bunny. Children wake up running around the house to find them. It is also customary to decorate branches in vases or on trees in the garden with painted Easter eggs.

In deutschsprachigen Ländern suchen die Kinder bunt bemalte Hühnereier und Süßigkeiten, die vom Osterhasen versteckt wurden. Nach dem Erwachen rannen die Kinder durch das Haus, um sie zu finden. Es gibt auch den Brauch, Zweige in Vasen oder auf Bäumen im Garten mit bunt bemalten Ostereiern zu schmücken.
As a symbol of fertility and wealth, the Easter Bunny has been a symbol of Easter in Germany since the 16th century and has since spread throughout the world. In most European countries, Holy Week and the week after Easter are school and student holidays. Many European countries celebrate Easter and Easter Monday as public holidays.

Theme: Easter in Germany
Das älteste Fest aller christlichen Kirchen ist Ostern. Seine Benennung wird im Deutschen auf den Namen Ostara, einer germanischen Frühlingsgöttin, bezogen. Darum verbindet man Ostern mit dem Naturwiedererwachen. Jeden Frühling wird die Auferstehung Jesu Christi gefeiert. Das ist ein Schuckelfest, weil sein Termin jedes Jahr auf ein anderes Datum fällt. Ostern ist stets am ersten Sonntag, der nach dem ersten Frühlingsvollmond kommt, darum kann es kein festes Osterdatum geben. Diese Regel existiert seit 325. Dem Osterfest gehen die Fastenzeit und die Karwoche voraus.
Easter - oldest holiday all Christian churches. Its name in German comes from the name of Ostara, the Germanic goddess of spring. Therefore, Easter is associated with the awakening of nature. Every spring they celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is a movable holiday, since the date of its arrival falls every year on different dates. Easter always falls on the first Sunday after the first spring full moon, so there can be no fixed Easter date. This rule has existed since 325. Easter is preceded by fasting and Holy Week.
Easter symbols
Ostern ist mit zahlreichen Bräuchen und Symbolen verbunden. Dazu gehören auch Fensterbilder und Tischschmuck. Als Symbol des Osterfestes gilt das Ei. Von Frühzeiten symbolisierte es das Leben und die Hoffnung. Im christlichen Sinn bedeutet dieses Symbol die Auferstehung. Unter der Schale des Eies versteht man das Grab. Daraus geht ein lebendiges Wesen hervor. In einem alten Volksbrauch steht auch: Das Ei sei das Symbol der Fruchtbarkeit.
Easter is associated with numerous customs and symbols. This also includes pictures on the windows and table decorations. The symbol of Easter is the egg. Since ancient times, it has meant life and hope. In the Christian sense, this symbol means rebirth. An egg shell is understood as a grave. A living being is born from it. Old folk custom also says: the egg is a symbol of fertility.
Von den Wissenschaftlern wurde mehrmals erklärt, warum das Ei zu Osterzeit solch eine Rolle spielt. Das altdeutsche Eiergesetz, nach dem Grund-und-Bodenzins mit Eiern gezahlt wurde, ist eine der Erklärungen. Ostern war gerade der Tag für diese Zinseier. Darauf könnte der Brauch zurückgehen, Ostereier zu verschenken. Die Germanen schenkten einander zuerst Eier ungefärbt. Erst im 12.-13. Jahrhundert wurden sie bemalt.
Scientists have repeatedly explained why the Easter egg plays such a role. One of the Explanations is the old German egg law, according to which dues and land rent were paid in eggs. Easter was just the day of the egg quitrent. From this could come the custom of giving eggs for Easter. The Germans first gave each other unpainted eggs. They began to paint them only in the 12-13th century.
Als Symbol des Festes gilt neben dem Ei auch der Osterhase. Der ist aber die umstrittenste "Person", denn er bringt den Kindern allein die Eier erst seit dem 16. Jahrhundert. Früher haben das auch andere Tiere getan: in Sachsen und Holstein - der Hahn, in Thüringen und im Elsas - der Storch, in Hessen - der Fuchs, in Bayern - das Lamm, in der Schweiz - sogar der Kuckuck.
Along with the egg, the Easter Bunny is also considered a symbol of the holiday. However, he is the most controversial "person", since he began to bring eggs to children only from the 16th century. Previously, other animals also did this. In Saxony and Holstein - a rooster, in Alsace and Thuringia - a stork, in Hesse - a fox, in Bavaria - a lamb, in Switzerland - even a cuckoo.
Aber einmal stritten sich die Tiere, wer den Kindern in anderen Teilen Deutschlands Eier bringen und sie in die Nester heimlich legen darf. Man organisierte ein Rennen. Der hase hat gewonnen, weil er der schnellste unter allen Tieren gewesen ist. Der hase ist auch der fruchtbarste gewesen, darum ist er zum besten Frühlingssymbol geworden. Aus den Osterbräuchen sind also die bemalten Eier sowie der Osterhase nicht wegzudenken.
But one day the animals argued about who in other parts of Germany could bring eggs to children and secretly put them in nests. A running competition was organized. The hare won because he was the fastest of all the animals. The hare was also the most prolific, so it became the best spring symbol. Therefore, painted eggs, like the Easter Bunny, are inseparable from Easter customs.
Easter customs
Die Ostereier müssen gefärbt sein. Rote sind immer die beliebtesten. Rot als Farbe unseres Lebens, der heißen Sonne sowie des Gewitttrgottes Donar und später des Blutes, das Jesus Christus für uns alle vergossen hat, wirkt stärker als andere Farben. Viele Jahrhunderte wurden die Ostereier nur rot gefärbt, denn dieser Farbe schrieben die Menschen die Schutzkraft zu.
Easter eggs must be dyed. Reds are always my favorite. Red as the color of life itself, the hot sun and the goddess of thunder Donar, and later - the blood that Christ shed for all of us, has a stronger effect than other colors. For many centuries, Easter eggs were painted only with red paint, as people attributed protective power to this color.
Es gibt einige Berichte des 17. Jahrhunderts, dass die Ostereier vergoldet, versilbert und sogar mit prächtigen Motiven bemalt und verziert wurden. Zu dieser Zeit galt als höchste Kunst ein reimgefülltes Ei. Das Ei wurde ausgeblasen und mit einem dünnen Papierchen gefüllt. Auf diesem Papierchen wurde ein gereimter Vers geschrieben.
There are several reports from the 17th century that Easter eggs were gilded, plated with silver and even painted with beautiful scenery and decorated. At that time, an egg filled with short poems was considered the highest art. The egg was blown and filled with thin paper. A rhyming poem was written on this paper.
Heute gibt es Ostereier in verschiedenen Farben: gelb, rot, grün, blau. Doch streben alle Hausfrauen danach, Eier mit Naturfarben zu färben: mit Zwiebelschalen und Tee braun, mit Brenneselblättern grün, mit rotem Betesaft rot. Sie werden nicht nur gefärbt, sondern auch bemalt oder mit Bildern beklebt. Wenn die Eier fertig sind, werden damit die Osterzweige geschmückt.
Today, Easter eggs come in a variety of colors: yellow, red, green, blue. But all housewives tend to paint eggs with natural paints: onion peel and tea - in brown, nettle leaves - in green, beet juice - in red. They are not only painted, but also painted or pasted over with pictures. When the eggs are ready, they decorate the Easter branches.
Besonders schöne Ostereier bekommt man, wenn man sie schon gekocht für wenige Minuten in Brennenwachs legt. Danach kratzt man verschiedene Muster und Ornamente hinein und legt sie in eine Farblösung. Im vorigen Jahrhundert hat man begonnen die Ostereier zu basteln. Man machte sie aus Pappe, Holz, Porzellan, Glas. Es gibt heute Eier aus Zucker, Schokolade und ganz große mit Süßigkeiten gefüllte Ostereier aus Plastik.
Easter eggs are especially beautiful if they are already boiled and placed in hot wax for several minutes. Then various drawings and ornaments are scratched in it and put into a colored solution. In the last century, Easter eggs began to be made. They were made of cardboard, wood, porcelain, glass. Today there are sugar eggs, chocolate eggs and very large plastic Easter eggs filled with sweets.
Easter egg hunt
Besonders gern haben Ostern die Kinder. Wenn sich der kalte Winter von uns verabschiedet hat und alle Flüsse und Bäche frei vom Eise sind, zieht es uns in die Natur zum schönen Osterspaziergang hinaus. Wenn die ganze Familie am Ostermorgen aus der Kirche kommt, suchen die Kleinen Osternester. Die Freude der Kinder ist umso größer, wenn sie auf Wiesen oder im Wald "rein zufällig" Nester finden, in denen der Osterhase buntgefärbte Eier versteckt hat. Das Ostereiersuchen symbolisiert eine Begrüßung der wiedererwachenden Natur.

Veilchen traumen schon,
Wollen balde kommen.
Horsch, von fern ein leiser Harfenton,
Frühling, ja du bist es!
Dich hab ich vernommen!
Students sing the song “Grün, grün, grün sind…“
1 leader: Zu Ostern steht im Mittelpunkt das Ei. Man bemalt die Eier und in der Kirche weihen lässt. Den Brauch, Eier zum Osternfest zu bemalen und zu farben, kennt man seit dem Mittelalter, also es etwa tausend Jahren. So kann man nicht nur einfach bemalen, sondern auch mit Stoff, Spitzer und Borten bekleben. Ostereier sind immer beliebtes Geschenk.
2 host: At Easter, the center of the celebration is Easter Egg. The eggs are decorated and illuminated in the church. For almost a thousand years, since the Middle Ages, the custom of coloring and painting eggs has been known. Easter egg - in the Christian sense - a symbol of resurrection, according to ancient custom - a symbol of fertility and the eternal return to life. However, eggs can not only be painted, but also pasted over with material on the top and sides.
1 leader: In der Nacht kommt der Osterhase. Er bringt die Ostereier in einem großen Korb auf dem Rücken, versteckt sie im Garten oder in der Wohnung und hüpft, deshalb hat ihn noch niemand gesehen.
2 host: At night, the Easter Bunny comes. He brings Easter eggs and hides them in the garden or in the apartment, so no one has ever seen him. Maybe we can see him today.
Children appear on the stage, representing a chicken and a hare.
Hare: Guten Morgen, Frau Huhn!
Jetzt gibt es was zu tun.
Zum Osterfest fur jedes Nest
Brauche ich viele Eier.
Chicken:
Wir Hühner wissen längst Bescheid.
Denn kommt heran die Osterzeit,
Dann muss ein jedes Huhn sich regen
Und viele große Eier legen.
Die Eier für die Osterzeit,
Die stehen schon im Stall bereit.
Hare: Ich nehme sie und fange dann
Gleich mit dem Eiermalen an,
Weil überall in Haus und Garten
Die Kinder schon auf Ostern warten.
Chicken:
Ich wünsch beim Malen viel Geschick!
Bring mir den leeren Korb zurück!
Four students sing a song about the Easter Bunny:
1 .Has, Has, Osterhas, wir möchten nicht mehr warten.
Der Krokus und das Tausendschön,
Vergissmein nicht und Tulpen stehn schon lang in unsrem Garten.
2. Has, Has, Osterhas, mit deinen bunten Eiern.
Der Star lugt aus dem Kasten aus,
Blühkätzchen sitzt im seinen Haus,
Wann kommst du den Fruhling feiern
3. Has, Has, Osterhas, ich wünsche mir das Beste!
Ein groses Ei, ein kleines Ei
Und ein lustiges Dudeldumbei, alles in einem Neste.
4. Has, Has, Osterhas, Has, Has, Osterhas,
Komm in unsern Garten!
Leg viel Eier in das Gras,
Laß uns nicht mehr warten!
2 host: So one of the symbols of German Easter is a hare, see how he prepares for the holiday to the delight of all children.
(1 student dressed as a hare comes with a basket of eggs, sits down in the middle of the stage and starts painting them, then hides the basket with colored eggs backstage. At this time, the second student reads a poem about this, then finds a basket with colored eggs and leaves.)
Student: Osterhäschen kommt im Lauf, hält sich bei den Hühnern auf,
Kauft dort einen Korb voll Eier, denn die sind jetzt gar nicht teuer,
Sucht die aller größten aus, trägt sie in den Wald hinaus,
Färbt sie rot und gelb und blau, und jetzt, Kindchen, schau nur, schau!
Kannst du finden hintern Busch - fort ist Häslein, husch, husch, husch!
The student reads the poem: Das Ei (comes out with a dyed egg)
Die Henne legt das Ei ins Nest.
Die Schalle ist meist weiß und fest.
Es ist oval, es ist auch rund.
Und fur die Kinder sehr gesund.
Sie blasen aus und malen an,
Dass man sie nur bewundern kann.
Und nehmen sie sich etwas Zeit,
Wird solch ein Ei zur Kostbarkeit.
1 leader: Ein Zeichen der Osterfreude ist auch Feuer, das in den Osternacht auf Bergen und Hügeln und vor Kirchen entzündet wird. Es erhellt die dunkle Nacht, es ist ein Zeichen der Hoffnung. Man holt es sich nach Hause und entflammt damit die Osterkerze.
2 host: The sign of Easter joy is the fire, which is lit on the Easter night in the mountains and on the hills, in front of the churches. It illuminates the dark night. Fire for us is a sign of hope. Fire is brought home and candles are lit from it. Often the Easter candle is lit in the church and lit during illness and in need.
student reads a poem:
Zur Osterzeit
Jetzt grünet, was nur grünen kann, die Bäum zu blühen fangen an.
So singen jetzt die Vögel all. Jetzt singt und klingt die Nachtigall.
Der Sonnenschein jetzt kommt herein und gibt der Welt ein neuen Schein.
Die ganze Welt, Herr Jesus Christ, zur Osterzeit jetzt fröhlich ist.
1 leader: Eine große Rolle spielt auch das Wasser. Wasser ist ein Symbol des Lebens, ebenso wie die Ostereier. Am Ostersonntag wird es heilkräftig. Die Leute glauben, dass dies Wasser mehrere Krankheiten behandeln kann.
2 host: Water also plays a big role. Water is a symbol of life. Considerable importance is attached to the cleansing properties of water scooped up on Easter night from a flowing source. Water must be drawn against the current and always silently. Easter water is kept sealed all year round and is believed to cure many diseases.
The student reads the poem:
Ich wünsche euch zum Osterfest, dass ihr mit Freuden seht,
Wie alles, weils der Himmel will, wahrhaftig aufersteht.
Das dunkle weicht, das Kälte schmilzt, erstarrte Wasser fließen,
Und duftend bricht die Erde auf, um wieder neu zu sprießen.
Wir alle müssen eines Tags von dieser Erde gehen.
Wir werden, wenns der Himmel will, wie Ostern auferstehn.
1 leader: Noch ein Zeichen den Osterfest ist ein Baum, ein Symbol des Lebens. Er erwacht jedes Frühjahr zum neuen Leben.
2 host: Another sign of Easter is a tree. Every spring it awakens to new life. Trees are decorated for Easter in Germany. Various sweets are hung on the Easter tree and 12 eggs are required, which means 12 months (12 apostles).
Teacher: In Germany, it is customary to congratulate relatives and friends on Easter. Do-it-yourself postcards and souvenirs are highly valued. We present to you some postcards and crafts made by the students of our 5th grade.
(postcards, flowers, bookmarks…)
Of course, it is customary to say words of love, wish health, happiness on this holiday.
Students read two short wishes:
- Ich wünsch gute Ostern und viel der guten Zeiten,
Ein leichtes Gemüt, ein frisches Geblüht
Und Gluck von allen Seiten.
2. Die Lieb ist groß, die Gab ist klein,
Damit sollst du zufrieden sein.
Mein Herz, das brennt wie eine Blut,
Möchte wissen, was das deine tut.
1 leader: Am Osternmorgen geht jung und alt auf Eiersuche. Die gefundenen Eier werden von den braven Kindern gegessen. Beim Suchen gibt es immer sehr viel Spaß. Es gibt einfach kein Ostern ohne das fröhliche Eiersuchen und Eierspiele.
2 host: On Easter morning, young and old go in search of eggs. Searches always bring a lot of joy. There is simply no Easter without Easter games.
Teacher: Let's also play a little, like German children do.
1 game. Children's favorite game is egg breaking. Each child in a pair is given one colored egg. One child has to break the other child's egg with the sharp side of his Easter egg. The winner then also gets the broken egg of the vanquished, or they eat it together.
2 game. Each player places an Easter egg in the spoon. Whoever comes running faster with an egg in a spoon is the winner.
Teacher: There are many more games with eggs:

Who will quickly find more eggs in special nests, etc.
