The History of Easter

The concept of "Easter as a sacred celebration" was formed in 200 AD, and since then, Easter has been on the side of non-religion. In fact, the first Easter was a pagan holiday.


   The ancient Saxons celebrated the Spring Solstice very lively, because it also commemorates their ancestors and the "resurrection" of spring. In 200 AD, Christian missionaries accidentally came to this northern tribe with pagan celebrations. These missionaries tried to convert the Saxons to Christianity, and the methods they used were very secretive.


   Early Christians committed suicide in ceremonies to celebrate their sacred festivals, but these rituals were not similar to the previous celebration rituals. In order to save lives, the missionaries used sub-strategies to slowly spread the message of the gods among the crowd, falsely claiming that the gods allowed people to continue to celebrate pagan festivals, but they had to use Christian methods to celebrate.


   In this way, Easter appeared in the same year and was regarded as a Christian ceremony for the resurrection of Jesus. Therefore, this holiday was slowly changed and gradually transformed into a Christian holiday. As a result, people gradually converted to Christianity. The name Eastre in the early days of Easter was finally changed to the spelling Easter that has been passed down to this day.
