Where does Easter actually come from? The origin of Easter dates back to pagan times. The resurrection of Jesus is celebrated at Easter. There are many legends about Easter and the origin of Easter, one of which tells that the word Easter is derived from the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring, Eostre.

This is also where the notion that Easter celebrates the beginning of spring comes from. Although Easter is said to be originally a pagan tradition, for Christians it is the most important festival of their religion. According to history, the pagans celebrated Easter in honour of the goddess Eostre at the time of the spring equinox (spring equinox), when the ratio of day to night was exactly the same.

 

Another legend says that Easter was originally a Hebrew custom. According to the Hebrew lunar calendar, Easter falls in the first month, called "Nisan". According to this, the background of Easter is the liberation of Israel from the Egyptians.

 

But no matter which story about the origin of Easter we believe, all legends say that Easter is a great holiday and celebrates the victory of life over death, that is, of light over darkness.
