The word "Easter" finds its roots in the Anglo-Saxon goddess of Spring, Eostre. Traditionally, a day was set aside to worship her and celebrate the Earth's awakening with the changing of seasons. Such symbols as the egg and the hare first appeared in this setting. Easter has taken on even greater significance in the Christian world. For Christians, Easter commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ after three days in the tomb. Many consider it a most sacred Christian holiday and find life, hope, and a new beginning in Easter. |
