Usually we think of delighted children scampering around searching for brightly-coloured eggs and symbolic rabbits hopping with baskets. However though these seem to be modern, they actually originate before the birth of Christianity. The pagan spring festival includes Ester, or Eostre, and it is a slightly different celebration of the holiday than most of us would think. Johnny Scott investigates this ancient spring festival.

English is the only language which calls the celebration of Jesus' Resurrection "Easter". AFAIK, every single other language on earth calls it "Pascha" or some variation.
