Quote:Eostre is the Germanic Goddess of Spring. Also called Ostara or Eastre, She gave Her name to the Christian festival of Easter (which is an older Pagan festival appropriated by the Church)

You do know that only two languages in the world even call the holiday Easter, right?

Most call it Passover or something similar to that word because of it being based on the Jewish holiday called, you guess it, Passover.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
