Happy Eostre you Pagan!
The naming of the celebration as “Easter” goes back to the name of a pre-Christian goddess in England, Eostre, who was celebrated at beginning of spring.
In the month in which English Christians were celebrating the resurrection of Jesus had been called Eosturmonath in Old English, referring to a goddess named Eostre.
Hence Easter remains the name by which Christians refer to the festival of Jesus’ resurrection.
