As has already been mentioned by others mostly everything except the name is different. When it comes to the name, the name isn't anything similar in for example Nordic languages: Påske (Norwegian, Danish) or påsk (Swedish). Finnish seems to have a similar sounding name. Same with Dutch. German has Ostern, but I the few others I checked were completely different. That means even the name similarity only exist in a few languages. And at the time the Christian celebration of Easter started these languages didn't even exist. The closest language I could find to early Christian history on DeepL was Greek and in Greek the name of Easter seems to be Πάσχ. With that, this idea should be debunked sufficiently I think. |
