復活節的象徵 Easter
蛋
早期的基督徒以蛋比喻為「新生命的開始」，象徵著「耶穌復活、走出石墓」。從十五世紀開始，人們為了記念主在十架所流的寶血，便將蛋染了紅色來慶祝復活節。其後，也有染成彩色的。
麵包
麵包象徵耶穌是「永生的活糧」。在歐洲許多國家中，復活節通常會另外烤製特別的復活節麵包，麵包上畫有基督耶穌的字樣、十字架，或羔羊的圖案等，以紀念基督。
羔羊肉
在歐洲許多國家，復活主日的主餐均食羔羊肉，因為在祝聖羔羊時，可讓人紀念摩西藉著羔羊的血，領導以色列人出埃及，而這羔羊(後來稱為逾越節的羔羊)是耶穌的預表：祂是上帝的聖潔羔羊，藉祂在十字架上所留的血，使人類得以洗淨罪，脫離魔鬼的奴役。
百合花
百合花在復活節前後開放，近代被用作復活節的標誌。花的球莖在地下腐爛後孕育出新的生命，比喻死亡之後復活。
蝴蝶
蝴蝶生命過程中的三個階段，毛蟲、蛹及蝴蝶，象徵著生命、死亡和復活。蝴蝶帶著新的軀體飛離繭殼，而我們藉著耶穌基督可以獲得新生。
羔羊和勝利的旗幟
羔羊是猶太人慶祝逾越節時作祭品用的，亦象徵耶穌所負的使命。施洗翰在看見耶穌的時候，高喊：「看哪，上帝的羔羊，除掉世人罪孽的！」（約１：２９）。當羔羊和旗幟一同使用的時代表勝利歡樂，就象徵基督的犧牲至終已獲得勝利，是其中一個有力的復活節標誌。
復活兔
相傳是來自德國。因為兔子很會繁殖，用來象徵豐富的生命力。

哥林多前書 復活的身體
15:35 或有人問：「死人怎樣復活，帶著甚麼身體來呢？」
15:36 無知的人哪，你所種的，若不死就不能生。
15:37 並且你所種的不是那將來的形體，不過是子粒，即如麥子，或是別樣的穀。
15:38 但 神隨自己的意思給他一個形體，並叫各等子粒各有自己的形體。
15:39 凡肉體各有不同：人是一樣，獸又是一樣，鳥又是一樣，魚又是一樣。
15:40 有天上的形體，也有地上的形體；但天上形體的榮光是一樣，地上形體的榮光又是一樣。
15:41 日有日的榮光，月有月的榮光，星有星的榮光；這星和那星的榮光也有分別。
15:42 死人復活也是這樣：所種的是必朽壞的，復活的是不朽壞的；
15:43 所種的是羞辱的，復活的是榮耀的；所種的是軟弱的，復活的是強壯的；
15:44 所種的是血氣的身體，復活的是靈性的身體。若有血氣的身體，也必有靈性的身體。
15:45 經上也是這樣記著說：「首先的人亞當成了有靈（靈：或譯血氣）的活人」；末後的亞當成了叫人活的靈。
15:46 但屬靈的不在先，屬血氣的在先，以後才有屬靈的。
15:47 頭一個人是出於地，乃屬土；第二個人是出於天。
15:48 那屬土的怎樣，凡屬土的也就怎樣；屬天的怎樣，凡屬天的也就怎樣。
15:49 我們既有屬土的形狀，將來也必有屬天的形狀。
15:50 弟兄們，我告訴你們說，血肉之體不能承受 神的國，必朽壞的不能承受不朽壞的。
15:51 我如今把一件奧祕的事告訴你們：我們不是都要睡覺，乃是都要改變，
15:52 就在一霎時，眨眼之間，號筒末次吹響的時候。因號筒要響，死人要復活成為不朽壞的，我們也要改變。
15:53 這必朽壞的總要變成（變成：原文是穿；下同）不朽壞的，這必死的總要變成不死的。
15:54 這必朽壞的既變成不朽壞的，這必死的既變成不死的，那時經上所記「死被得勝吞滅」的話就應驗了。
15:55 死啊！你得勝的權勢在哪裏？死啊！你的毒鉤在哪裏？
15:56 死的毒鉤就是罪，罪的權勢就是律法。
15:57 感謝 神，使我們藉著我們的主耶穌基督得勝。
15:58 所以，我親愛的弟兄們，你們務要堅固，不可搖動，常常竭力多做主工；因為知道，你們的勞苦在主裏面不是徒然的。
1 Corinthians
15:35 But someone will say, How do the dead come back? and with what sort of body do they come?
15:36 Foolish man, it is necessary for the seed which you put into the earth to undergo death in order that it may come to life again:
15:37 And when you put it into the earth, you do not put in the body which it will be, but only the seed, of grain or some other sort of plant;
15:38 But God gives it a body, as it is pleasing to him, and to every seed its special body.
15:39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, and another of fishes.
15:40 And there are bodies of heaven and bodies of earth, but the glory of the one is different from that of the other.
15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for the glory of one star is different from that of another.
15:42 So is it with the coming back from the dead. It is planted in death; it comes again in life:
15:43 It is planted in shame; it comes again in glory: feeble when it is planted, it comes again in power:
15:44 It is planted a natural body; it comes again as a body of the spirit. If there is a natural body, there is equally a body of the spirit.
15:45 And so it is said, The first man Adam was a living soul. The last Adam is a life-giving spirit.
15:46 But that which is natural comes before that which is of the spirit.
15:47 The first man is from the earth, and of the earth: the second man is from heaven.
15:48 Those who are of the earth are like the man who was from the earth: and those who are of heaven are like the one from heaven.
15:49 And in the same way as we have taken on us the image of the man from the earth, so we will take on us the image of the one from heaven.
15:50 Now I say this, my brothers, that it is not possible for flesh and blood to have a part in the kingdom of God; and death may not have a part in life.
15:51 See, I am giving you the revelation of a secret: we will not all come to the sleep of death, but we will all be changed.
15: 52 In a second, in the shutting of an eye, at the sound of the last horn: for at that sound the dead will come again, free for ever from the power of death, and we will be changed.
15:53 For this body which comes to destruction will be made free from the power of death, and the man who is under the power of death will put on eternal life.
15:54 But when this has taken place, then that which was said in the Writings will come true, Death is overcome by life.
15:55 O death, where is your power? O death, where are your pains?
15:56 The pain of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:
15:57 But praise be to God who gives us strength to overcome through our Lord Jesus Christ.
15:58 For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.
