      Would be more interesting with and explaination of the etymologies.

      I know Pasqua/Pascua/Paques come from aramaic „pascha“ through Latin, the contemporary name for Passover in Jesus‘ times.

      Where does Easter/Ostern comes from?

      The original word is derived from the Aramaic word „Paskha“ which is also derived from hebrew פֶּסַח (pesach)

      And that’s why it’s spelled „Fasḥ“ in Arabic since they replace the „P“ sound with an „F“ sound and the „kh“ sound with a „ḥ“ sound in whatever word that doesn’t have a root.

      In Indonesia, so many people thought that Christianity was spread through Dutch colonization, but learning the etymology of language used by Christian Indonesian I’m willing to believe that it was spread through Spanish/Portuguese. In Indonesia, we call Easter as „Paskah“, church as „Gereja“, Jesus as „Yesus“, Christmas as „Natal“ etc which are more closer to Portuguese than Dutch even though the Dutch has been here for waayyy longer

      This is coming from a non-Christian Indonesian but it is pretty interesting to think about

      The word Easter comes from the Saxon goddess of Spring named Eástre, which was the Saxon version of the Nordic goddess Friga, the wife of Odin/Wotan.

      She was so beloved by the Teutons that even during the christianization of the region it was impossible to demote this heathen goddess into a demon by the catholic church. Hence her name carried on into the Easter tradition by being the namesake in Southern Germanic nations, with the exceptions of the lowlands.

      Maybe 🤔 just maybe the word Ostern or Easter has a meaning which has a belonging to the direction where the festival is coming from. In German the word Osten is the the name of the direction which the English call East. Maybe it means festival coming from the East.

      The Finnish word „pääsiäinen“ is derived specifically for the holiday from the word „päästä“ (to get) and means roughly a „holiday of getting away“ or „getting past“ or „getting free“.
