There are 3 questions in this category.

Do you happen to know when our 'Feast of the Resurrection' was called 'Easter' and how it came to be? I was told that Easter was a pagan feast. Is this true?
Where did the term "Easter" come from, and what does it mean? Does the name ‘Easter Bunny' originate from it?
Why do we have a Liturgy early Saturday morning on Bright Saturday (just before Easter) if Jesus did not resurrect before Sunday morning? (If Jesus is still in the tomb, how we can take communion?) What is the reason for this specific Liturgy on Saturday?
