Hail Easter!

hey why is all of the imagery modern? is there like a total dearth of any evidence for Eostre worship?

Hey, it isn’t!

Lots of dubious stuff. Where is the evidence the English “reverted back to the pagan name for Easter”? Bede just says the name for the *month* was used for the Christian festival (see below). No “reversion”. What OHG cognate for Eostre does Grimm cite? In what text is this found?

Jesus of Nazareth resurrected from the dead with a real physical glorified body witnessed and interacted by many before He visibly ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest until He comes again at the last day.

That’s what you believe but our religion has other beliefs. Enjoy your holiday

@hereismarlin Our religion has other beliefs clearly insecure

@hereismarlin If i was insecure then i would be spamming walls of text in the replies to other people’s expressions of faith

@Moesawyrd

"yeah duuurrrr hurrrr april used to be named eostre's month therefore easter is pagan thing durrhurr"

I didnt say that.

It was formerly a tradition among English Christians to watch the dawn at Easter. Francis Young writes, “you might be lucky enough to see the sun dancing in the sky as it rises, rejoicing at the resurrection of Christ – although tradition also records that the devil usually manages to put a hill in front of the dancing sun to stop people seeing it” The association of Easter with the rising sun to me seems to point to the fact that Eostre was the Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn as the etymology of the name also shows

Easter pre-dates the Anglo Saxons by over a millennia, they being who invented Eostre

Easter dates back to the Proto Indo European dawn goddess 5000+ ybp

@IberianThe Neat. Got evidence for this?

@OrthodoxPole81 I am an historian and the video shows the evidence.

There are issues with this. Where is the evidence the English reverted back to the name of Easter? The situation of conversion of the Anglo Saxons and the Nordic countries is completely different and centuries away from each other.

Another pagan festival that was stolen and co-opted by Christianity in order to make it more appealing to us Germanic barbarians.

It is also "dawn, morning" = the morning of Jesus Christ's Ressurection. This is why Christian Germanics chose this name for our Christian/Catholic most important holiday. Qaþ imma Iesus: ik im sa Wigs jah Sunja jah Libains. Ainshun ni qimiþ at attin, niba þairh Mik.

No need to announce that you’re gay bro, everyone knows already

Freya and Brigitte could be cognate. The Phrygians were said to have been formerly named Brygians. And they called themselves the free men. You know Dutch vrij means free, and vrijen means to make love. A very interesting read:

Honestly i had no idea. When was the cognate relationship to Eostre realised? Beforr Grimm?

Dumb pseudo history.

Only Anglophones and Germans call it Easter.

Little factoid you might like (if you aren’t already known to it). The Yezidis (Indo-Iranian people) celebrate their new year around this time of year, I think the first wednesday of april. The call it “red wednesday”. On that day they celebrate new life and.. paint eggs!

@PaulJustin27306 Hail Easter!

Praise Freya this day for us Scandinavians

Do you know how languages work

Probably better than you do

Christ is king.

Larpers out we wazing again

Cope and seethe

Sources Tom. Other that, I pulled it out of my arse. I get you're a proud pagan, but you're doing what the trans people do by making this crap up. I thought better of you.

The video lists primary sources. Try paying attention before spewing your emotional incontinence in my replies

Yeah no, that doesn't cut it, and you know it.

What tf do you know? Where did you study this

Wow, you can't cope with people challenging you can you.

Cope

Eostre (from which the English name for Easter is derived) was the name of a month and we don't actually have concrete evidence that it was the name of a goddess. By the time the Romans made contact with the Germanic peoples Christians were already celebrating the Resurrection.

Happy Easter McChristians!

Reject female worship. Reject juwe worship. Reject larpers who wouldn't last five minutes sent to a past they wouldn't understand.

sounds degenerate
