The origins of #Easter...
The name "Easter" itself is believed to come from the Old English word “Ēostre” (“Ôstara”) which was a name of the goddess of spring. In many #ancientCultures, #spring was considered a time of renewal and rebirth.
Easter is a reminder of the importance of #NewBeginnings and the hope of #renewal - and so, it still can be celebrated by everybody.
Enjoy the Easter weekend!
