Interesting explanation MMario - but don't you think it a bit odd that it ended up so close to EOSTER, who was, I believe, a dawn goddess? Without more evidence - which I am sure you will give in reams! - it sounds suspiciously like one of the ways the early Church would incorporate existing traditions. I'm not sure blaming everything on the ignorant Germans who didn't understand good Latin is an approach I would want to defend either BG (By the way, I thought traditionally the catecumens would be baptised during the Easter Vigil, which would make Easter the week after Easter Sunday on this explanation)
