Easter

Replace this with a sub-header that can be in multiple lines. ​

The Christian celebration is named after the Germanic goddess of springtime, Ostara - commonly referred to as Eostre or Eastre.

The goddess lent her name to the month of Easter almost two thousand years ago.

Pagan Anglo-Saxons held feasts and celebrations in Eastre’s name before the 8th century, by which time the tradition had died out and been replaced by the Christian Paschal month, that we still follow today.
