English is unusual in what it calls the feast. Almost every other European language uses some form of Pascha, from the Hebrew Pesach. Only English and German use a word that the monk Bede, writing in the 700s, traced to Eostre, a goddess whose month roughly matched April. Whether Bede was reporting a real custom or reconstructing one has been argued about ever since.

The eggs have a duller and far better documented origin. Eggs were among the foods given up for Lent, hens went on laying regardless, and after forty days a household had a surplus to use up, so they were boiled, decorated and eaten the moment the fast lifted. Peeps are the modern version of the same surplus: the first ones in 1953 were piped by hand and took twenty-seven hours to set, where the line now turns one out in six minutes.
