Name source

The name of Easter is converted from the Latin word "Pascha" of the church (due to the influence of the word pascua(nourriture, food), from pascere(pa? Tre, from the Latin verb).

Originally from the Greek π? Σ χ α (pá skha) is borrowed, and the Greek word itself is borrowed from Hebrew (Pessa'h, beyond [par-dessus above]), which comes from Passover (crossing the road), that is, it refers to the Jewish Passover, and it also has the meaning of commemorating the Israelites' departure from Egypt that year.

According to the Gospel of the Bible, during this Jewish festival, Jesus Christ was resurrected. This is why this name is used for Christian festivals. According to the Oxford Dictionary and other articles (such as "Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs" by Francis X. Weiser), the word Easter in English is related to the word Passover of Jews, not only because Jesus is the lamb of Passover, but also because the resurrection of Jesus Christ coincides with Passover in time.

In many European languages, not only the Passover feast was once called Easter, but also the early English Bible translation used Easter to translate Passover. According to the accepted theory, the word Easter has the same origin as German Oster and Dutch ooster, and comes from the ancient English goddess? ostre。 April was originally named after the goddess, and in this month, people held corresponding banquets and celebrations. Later, after the popularity of Christianity in Europe, traditional festivals were crowned with Christian-related allusions, which was similar to Christmas.
