Easter Bears Name of Teuton Spring Goddess The name Easter, like the names of the days of the week, is a survival from the old Teutonic mythology. It is said to be derived from Eostre or Ostara. the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring, to whom the month corresponding to our April, called Eostur-monath, was dedicated. Although Easter, as commemorating the central fact of the Christian religion, the resurrection of Christ, always has been regarded as the chief festival of the Christian year, there is no indication of the observance of the Easter festival in the New Testament or in the writings of the apostolic fathe r s. It soon became recognized. however, and according to a regulation of Constantine, was to be the first day of the year. This reckoning of the year as beginning at Easter lingered in France as late as 1564. Easter eggs, the perennial symbol of the day, have their origin In remote antiquity. In the early days of the Christian era, dyed Easter eggs were blessed by the priests and holy men and kept as amulets supposed to bring good fortune. Even before Christianity, there are references in history to the "eggs of spring," and the rolling of the Pesche, or Pace, egg is one of the oldest recorded customs. Hie lamb, another traditional Easter symbol, traces back to the sacrifice of the paschal lamb in the ancient Jewish Pssover observance. Easter cards of the modem type made their first appearance about 1908, following thq lead of various earlier English publishers and Louis Prang in America.
