In some hours Christians
around the world would be
celebrating Easter, which is a
celebration of the resurrection
of Jesus Christ.
It is arguably one of the most
important date on the
religious calendar. Easter
marks the end of Lent, a 40-
day period of fasting and
reflection. The day holds the
promise of victory over death,
a new life and the forgiveness
of sins.
Easter is also commemorates
the death of Jesus Christ. It is
greatly influenced by the
Christian faith as it reminds
believers to remember the last
sacrifice of the Son of God.
Here are six facts about the
Easter you probably never
knew about:

this Easter
1. There’s more than one
theory about where Easter got
its name.
The word Easter has been
linked to Eostre, an Anglo-
Saxon goddess of spring and
new life. Other scholars
trace the name of the holiday
to the Latin phrase
“hebdomada alba,” which
means “white week.”
According to tradition, new
Christians were baptized into
the faith on Easter while
wearing white clothes. The
phrase evolved into
“eostarum” in Old High
German, becoming “Ostern” in
modern German and “Easter”
in English.
But in many other languages,
the word for Easter is still
deeply tied to Passover, the
festival that celebrates the
exodus of the Jews from
Egypt. Jesus was crucified
soon after he arrived in
Jerusalem to celebrate the
Passover feast.
2. Easter has always been tied
to the moon.
Since the Jewish calendar is
based on lunar cycles,
Passover falls on 14 Nisan,
the 14th day of the first full
moon of spring. Christians in
Asia Minor used to remember
the crucifixion on the 14
Nisan, and celebrate the
resurrection on 16 Nisan. But
this meant that Easter could
fall on any day of the week.
On the other hand, Christians
in the West celebrated Easter
on the first Sunday after 14
Nisan.
In 325, the Roman Emperor
Constantine I gathered
bishops from around his
empire at the Council of
Nicaea to hammer out a
solution to this and other
debates raging in the early
church. The council decided
that Easter would be observed
on the first Sunday following
the first full moon after the
spring equinox.
3. Easter falls on a different
date each year
Technically, Easter falls on
the first Sunday after the full
Moon after the Vernal
Equinox. The worship of Attis
and Cybele was very popular
in Rome as late as the 3rd
century. Attis was a soter, or
savior, god who was reborn
each year. This resurrection
was celebrated beginning on
the Friday after the full moon
after the Vernal equinox (now
Good Friday). It culminated
on the following Sunday three
days later. Since they were
rivals, Christianity adopted
the date for their soter and,
once the Cybele cult faded,
Christians had to keep the
date since that was when
everybody was used to
celebrating the holiday.
4. Easter eggs
The egg has always been a
symbol of fertility, creation
and rebirth. Many ancient
cultures’ creation myths
involved the earth being
hatched from an egg. Though
other societies may not have
had such a creation myth,
they still held the egg as a
symbol of new life.
The ancient Persians and
Egyptians exchanged colored
eggs, usually red, in honor of
spring. The Greeks and
Romans adopted the custom,
enlarging the color palette. In
Medieval Europe, eggs were
forbidden during Lent. This
made eggs very popular at
Easter.

5. The celebration of Eostre
gave birth to the Easter Bunny
These early pagan customs
also established the iconic
myth of the Easter Bunny.
These early people
worshipped rabbits as god-
like creatures because of their
ability to mate and reproduce
in astounding abundance. The
Celtic Eostre, however, came
with a legend that their god
would turn into a giant rabbit
at the rise of each full moon.
Both of these views made this
deity the fertility symbol of
their respective faiths.
6. Easter originally had
nothing to do with
Christianity
Instead, it was a pagan
celebration of spring and the
rebirth of life after the cold
winter months where only
beards grew.
