Why is #Easter called 'Easter'?

Easter in English comes from the German Oster, which comes from Germanic 'Ostara' which in turn comes from Eostre which comes from ancient Greek 'Eos' meaning 'Dawn', derived from the Christian symbolism inherent in the mythical resurrection of Jesus Christ after his brutal execution.

As Dawn follows Night, Easter is not a celebration of suffering and death, but the promise of rebirth and salvation.
