Easter
Message de vance posté le 25-03-2005 à 18:38:28 (S | E | F | I)
Hello, everybody
I have a question to ask : why is Easter called "Easter" ?
It sounds quite stupid, as anyone will answer that there is no reason why it should be another word rather than this one.
Anyway... perhaps someone knows the etymology ? Is it related to "the East" ?
Thank you
