As with almost all “Christian” holidays, Easter has been secularized
and commercialized. The dichotomous nature of Easter and its symbols,
however, is not necessarily a modern fabrication.
Since its conception as a holy celebration in the second century,
Easter has had its non-religious side. In fact, Easter was originally a
pagan festival.
The ancient Saxons celebrated the return of spring with an uproarious
festival commemorating their goddess of offspring and of springtime,
Eastre. When the second-century Christian missionaries encountered the
tribes of the north with their pagan celebrations, they attempted to
convert them to Christianity. They did so, however, in a clandestine
manner.
It would have been suicide for the very early Christian converts to
celebrate their holy days with observances that did not coincide with
celebrations that already existed. To save lives, the missionaries
cleverly decided to spread their religious message slowly throughout the
populations by allowing them to continue to celebrate pagan feasts, but
to do so in a Christian manner.
As it happened, the pagan festival of Eastre occurred at the same
time of year as the Christian observance of the Resurrection of Christ.
It made sense, therefore, to alter the festival itself, to make it a
Christian celebration as converts were slowly won over. The early name,
Eastre, was eventually changed to its modern spelling, Easter.
