		Pascha is the inauguration of a new age.

	Easter
		In addition, Christ and the Apostles were observing the "Feast of Booths" when the Epiphany occurred, indicating that He was not immediately opposed to the observance of annual holidays.
		Just as the most commonly accepted etymology for the English word "Easter" derives it from the Germanic goddes Eostre, some have traced the holiday's origins to that goddess' festival, which is extremely difficult to reconcile with the fact that the holiday arose in those parts of the Roman Empire that were not under Germanic domination.
		To claim that the Easter celebration is actually a festival for a Germanic goddess is to claim that Germanic pagans had somehow managed to wrest places such as Sardis from the Roman Empire before the year 200 AD.
