Easter is a name for various religious celebrations. Judaism commemorates the Exodus of the Hebrew people from Egypt. For Christianity it is every celebration related to the birth and resurrection of Christ (Christmas, Adoration of the Magi, Easter). It has a Hebrew origin in 1508; 1505; 1495; (Passover "jump, step over") and tradition tells that during the plague of Egypt the Angel of Death who took away all the firstborn skipped the houses of the Jews, although a reference to the passage across the Red Sea is more likely. The Greek took the name of the celebration as 928; 945; 963; 967; 945; (pasja) which passed into medieval Latin as Pascha, ae (pasca, pasca), which by influence of Easter, i ("food of cattle, food of people in general") related to the end of ritual fasting, ended in Spanish as Easter.
