Just in case you thought Easter is a pagan Holiday. Some well-meaning but rather uninformed Christians during this time will make a big stink, seeking to argue that the whole affair is just one big pagan celebration, and we should have nothing to do with it. : their “argument largely rests on the supposed pagan associations of the English and German names for the celebration (Easter in English and Ostern in German). It is important to note, however, that in most other European languages, the name for the Christian celebration is derived from the Greek word Pascha, which comes from pesach, the Hebrew word for Passover. Easter is the Christian Passover festival.
