The term Easter" is supposed to have been derived
from Ostera Eastre the goddess of spring and the
personfcation of the morning. The feast OF this god
dess was ce>braed by ancient Saxons in the sprig

This ancient pagan festival utilized by the early
Christian fathers and by them turned into the Christian
observance known throughout Chrstendom "Eas
