Why did Easter start?

Answer 1

Easter, named after the Goddess of the Dawn, was started to celebrate the coming of Spring. When Christianity was brought to Britain, as the Venerable Bede wrote in 731 AD, the people "kept the old festival in the gladness of a new solemnity." We kept the old name, too. Most Christians call Easter "Passover," that is they use a word like Pâques in French, Pascua in Spanish or Pascha in Greek, derived from the Aramaic word pascha.

Answer 2

Easter was the time when Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven, creating Easter day, because it is when Jesus rose from the dead on the third day.

Christians believe that Jesus was resurrected from the dead two days after his crucifixion, and celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day, two days after Good Friday.

Hey up, Did someone say 'Good Friday' what was so good about it.......

From Jesus' point of view it wasn't all that good. He got persecuted, beaten and flogged. He was then forcibly made to carry a huge wooden cross for miles in the blistering sun whilst wearing a crown of thorns and being beaten, jeered and spat upon by the crowds all along the way. After having a whale of a time he was then taken up a hill made to erect his own cross and then was promptly lashed to it and nailed to it. THEN on Sunday, he ascended. Hence Easter Sunday. BUT why do we call Friday - GOOD FRIDAY - it wasn't a barrel of laughs, it was a pretty dismal day for all those who were tortured by the ignorant masses who we now refer to as Christian Folk. So..... why Good Friday - it should have a more apt name. maybe something like 'nail em up Friday'
