The Venerable Bede, (672-735 CE.) a Christian scholar, first asserted in his book De Ratione Temporum that Easter was named after Eostre (aka Eastre). She was the Great Mother Goddess of the Saxon people in Northern Europe. Similarly, the “Teutonic dawn goddess of fertility [was] known variously as Ostare, Ostara, Ostern, Eostra, Eostre, Eostur, Eastra, Eastur, Austron and Ausos.” Her name was derived from the ancient word for spring: “eastre.” Similar Goddesses were known by other names in ancient cultures around the Mediterranean, and were celebrated in the springtime. Some were: -Aphrodite from ancient Cyprus -Ashtoreth from ancient Israel -Astarté from ancient Greece -Demeter from Mycenae -Hathor from ancient Egypt -Ishtar from Assyria -Kali, from India -Ostara a Norse Goddess of fertility. An alternative explanation has been suggested. The name given by the Frankish church to Jesus’ resurrection festival included the Latin word “alba” which means “white.” (This was a reference to the white robes that were worn during the festival.) “Alba” also has a second meaning: “sunrise.” When the name of the festival was translated into German, the “sunrise” meaning was selected in error. This became “ostern” in German. Ostern has been proposed as the origin of the word “Easter”. Credits …

@simplydannygirl Easter is blasphamus it was never biblical.
@WaitingforChrist Bless 🙂 Quoting bible versus shows you need to be dictated too, and cannot think for yourself. Oh well.
@christinepro I wish people would call Easter Eostré, the actual name for the holy day, which is a Northern European Pagan Goddess
Oh how blasphemous! I have look away So much witchcraft is being thrown.
It’s all over this video……..
I hate the Europeen Church and her stupid gods and? goddesses.
I wish people would call Easter (First Fruits). That is what the appointed time is called. Barley is a representation of Yeshua. The waving of the barley sheaf happens on the first day after the sabbath following passover. This is found in Leviticus 23.
@cryaloud1611 – I do too, I’m just not fond of “learning the way of the heathen” (Jeremiah 10:3) or worshiping my God in the way that the peoples of the nations do (Deuteronomy 12:30-31).
i just praise the LORD that HE is risen
@godsplumbline – Well, I can’t find a video that would sum it all up in one nice little 10 minute presentation, but Jim Brown has quite a few good video series about the Pagan holidays, their origins, and the scriptural side of it. Here’s one of the series (it’s in 10 parts): watch?v=vUakjz_7y8g
It’s called “Prophecy is about Israel’s Apostasy Part 1”
@WaitingforChrist please let me know if you can find a better video, i did tried to look for one.
@godsplumbline I realize that and yes their mention of Easter being pagan is absolutely true. However, they’ve neglected the more important issue of when/where these pagan practices originated, who practiced them, and what does scripture have to say about them. But of course, the Revisionist History Channel is never going to give the whole truth on any particular matter.
not othodox christian sources.
on the whole easter is an atempt to get people to believe the Church has replaced israel thus the abolition of Passover was not Polycarp as he practiced it, it was his predessesor Constantinople under the First ecumenical council, the council of nicea he abolished passover and every hebrew feast.
@WaitingforChrist I posted this video as you are right about Matthew 12:40 but their expose on easter being pagan is spot on, the info on Christ is from Catholic sources.
I swear, the History Channel is always putting out misinformation! (1) Yeshua was in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights, not 2 days [Matthew 12:40]. (2) It’s very doubtful that Yeshua was ever crucified on “Friday” or any equivalent to “Friday” on the Hebrew calendar. (3) Yeshua rose immediately after Shabbat (Saturday sundown) … I swear, I can’t even begin to cover all their misinformation. The one thing they got right is that “Sunday” and all the Easter customs are pagan to the core.
