: I had no idea.
No, I'm referring to the government sanctioning the observation of a holiday with a Christian name. (Actually the name comes from the goddess Eostara of Germanic legend) You are familiar with the controversy surrounding the name of Christmas, aren't you?
I actually celebrate a Pagan version of Easter called Ostara in late March.
