Historian pals: trying to find the first recorded use of the term 'Easter'. I know Bede's reference to it of course, but I assume it's recorded in Anglo-Saxon texts prior to that?

So in addition to providing us with a discussion of its etymology, Bede also has the first recorded use of the term. Excellent. Thanks again. :)

No problem haha. Incidentally he has the first recorded mention of Woden in England also. So much of our knowledge, scant as it is, of pre-Christian beliefs in England, come from him.
