EasterThis is a yearly festival that takes place the first Sunday following the first full moon after March 21. Originally it was pagan holiday to honour Eastra or Ostara a Teutonic goddess. DTP For the disciple it is a time when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ with many faithful Christians around the world. The original celebration focused on the resurrection of Jesus Christ after He had been cruelly hung and killed on the cross. The word Easter is found in Acts 12:4 but it would have been better to use the word "Passover". Today Easter is filled with many pagan and other secular and religious traditions that have nothing to do with the original remembrance day of Jesus Christ's resurrection. Yet, the fact that many governmental authorities around the world recognize the sacred day is a testament to the superintendence of God over all.
