1. What does the word* Easter *mean?
*Is Easter Biblical*?
a. *Easter — *originally a Saxon word (Eostre), denoting a goddess of the Saxons, in honour of whom sacrifices were offered about the time of the Passover.
Hence the name came to be given to the festival of the Resurrection of Christ, which occured at the time of the Passover.
In the early English versions this word was frequently used as the translation of the Greek pascha (the Passover).
When the Authorized Version (1611) was formed, the word “passover” was used in all passages in which this word pascha occurred, except in Act 12:4.
In the Revised Version the proper word, “passover,” is always used.

*Fragrance From Crown Of Thorns*
An ancient legend tells of a monk who found the crown of thorns which had pressed on the Master.
On Good Friday morning he set the crown on a side altar of the cathedral.
It was a cruel- looking, ghastly thing, covered with blood.
The people glanced at it for a moment and then turned away.
It reminded them too keenly of the ugliness and cruelty of their sins.
There the crown remained until Easter morning when, with the sunrise, the monk made his way into the sanctuary.
He thought that this bloody reminder of Good Friday would be out of place, and he should remove it.
As he approached the altar, he detected a strange fragrance.
The sun was so bright he could not at first notice what had happened.
The sun had centered its rays upon the crown, and had changed the sharp thorns and the cruel twigs into roses of the rarest beauty and the most pleasing fragrance.
