Easter is old. The name was brought to Britain by the Anglo-Saxon settlers, but its celebration of the Vernal Equinox is an essential part of the earliest calendar-worship, dating from the Stone Age at least. The Christian Paschal feast that became attached to Easter, and is called "Passover" in most languages ( Pâques or Pascuas or Πασχα, from a form of the Aramaic pascha), is relatively recent, dating from the 1st Century AD, but it derives of course from the time of the Israelites' Exodus from Egypt.

What people know as 'Easter', began the first year after the resurrection of Jesus. It just was not called Easter at this time. The title of Easter developed as time went by.
