Hi there!

How are you? I hope you are having a good time. The weather is really good for outdoor activities!

Finally, I stay at home for Easter. I am working now in the edition of the short musical film that you have filmed and soon I will be able to show it to you.

Last day I forgot a very important thing... HOMEWORK!

Here you have the video of the story of Easter (catholic version). It is, as you know, a religious Holiday and it's interesting to know its origin (no matter if we are believers or atheistic). And it's more interesting to find out that its true origin is.... Guess what? Pagan :).

Read this text:

"The name "Easter" originated with the names of an ancient Goddess and God. The Venerable Bede, (672-735 CE.) a Christian scholar, first asserted in his book De Ratione Temporum that Easter was named after Eostre (a.k.a. Eastre). She was the Great Mother Goddess of the Saxon people in Northern Europe. Similarly, the "Teutonic dawn goddess of fertility [was] known variously as Ostare, Ostara, Ostern, Eostra, Eostre, Eostur, Eastra, Eastur, Austron and Ausos." Her name was derived from the ancient word for spring: "eastre." Similar Goddesses were known by other names in ancient cultures around the Mediterranean, and were celebrated in the springtime"

It explains that there was a goddes of fertility. Then, Catholicism assimilated this celebration in order to delete it from the popular tradition. But, thanks to internet we know the true :D.

Watch this video about the catholic version of Easter celebration and answer these questions:

1. What is this video about?
2. Who did betray Jesus?
3. Who did deny Jesus three times?
4. What do the catholic people celebrate in Easter?
5. What's your favourite part of the poem?

See you soon!
