最精心制作的复活节彩蛋甚至不是真蛋。一个叫卡尔·费伯奇的俄国珠宝商曾用金、银和珠宝做成彩蛋。打开蛋还可以看到小小的人、动物、植物和房子。俄国皇帝以此作为礼物送人。 复活节兔子是非常古老的复活节象征的现代说法。野兔是兔子的大个子亲戚，它是专供厄俄斯特女神用的圣物。
在复活节穿新衣服的习俗是在公元后300年左右开始的，大约在第一个基督徒皇帝康斯坦丁的时代。他下令在复活节那天朝臣们都得穿最好的衣服。The main idea of the listening passage.

Andy bought the candy Easter eggs, but he did not have enough money in his pocket to buy the Hot Cross Buns. Helen took some of her money and bought a dozen.
On Saturday night, after the small children had gone to bed, Andy andHelen hid candy and chocolate Easter eggs all over the house. Some were big, some were very small, and some were not eggs at all, but in the shape of chickens or rabbits. They were hidden in cupboards, behind boxes and under clothes.
