The name “Easter” comes to America Ostera or Eostre, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring. The origins of Easter go back to 2000 BC in Babylon, in honor of the goddess Ishtar spring. Easter has been a shadow or silhouette image of the crucifixion of Christ. We should celebrate Christ, our Passover, the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. It is probably the true father disgusting. We have Easter bunnies, eggs, baskets, hats, parades, etc.”]
