Happy Easter!
« on: March 31, 2024, 01:22:12 PM »
I wondered how the word, Easter, came to be used for this special day.

So....

"There is now widespread consensus that the word derives from the Christian designation of Easter week as in albis, a Latin phrase that was understood as the plural of alba (“dawn”) and became eostarum in Old High German, the precursor of the modern German and English term."

Anyway , have a Happy Easter!

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.
