Easter is Pagan

From one of my pagan friends:

"The word Easter comes from an ancient pagan goddess worshiped by Anglo Saxons named Eostre.

According to legend, Eostre once saved a bird whose wings had frozen during the winter by turning the bird into a rabbit.

Because the rabbit had once been a bird, it could still lay eggs, and that rabbit became our Easter Bunny. "

Happy Easter Everyone!!!

I just use all holidays, regardless of history, as a reason to cook for my friends.
