This claim is not without plausibility. However, an alternative explanation has been suggested among scholars. The name given by the Frankish church to Jesus' resurrection festival included the Latin word "alba" which means "white." (This was a reference to the white robes that were worn during the festival.) "Alba" also has a second meaning: "sunrise." When the name of the festival was translated into German, the "sunrise" meaning was selected in error. This became "ostern" in German. Ostern has been proposed as the origin of the word "Easter".

As far as the word for "Sunday" goes, there are two popular beliefs about it's origin:

- It is derived from the name of the Scandinavian sun Goddess Sunna (a.k.a. Sunne, Frau Sonne).

- It is derived from "Sol," the Roman God of the Sun." Their phrase "Dies Solis" means "day of the Sun." The Christian saint Jerome (d. 420) commented "If it is called the day of the sun by the pagans, we willingly accept this name, for on this day the Light of the world arose, on this day the Sun of Justice shone forth."

Another word from which "Easter" arises is "Ishtar", a goddess worshipped in the Babylonian era.

Another one of our fucking Easter traditionh. The "salubong". Usually done at fucking 3am in the morning where Filipinos will fucking re enact Mary's first vision of Jesus since He died.[:D]
