Anglo-Saxon Pagan Festivals

Festivals attributed to pre-Christian Anglo-Saxon England, chiefly Eostre and Modranicht, known almost entirely from a handful of later written references, most famously Bede, rather than from any contemporary pagan source. How much of the reconstructed picture reflects genuine pre-Christian practice and how much is later antiquarian inference is a live scholarly disagreement, not a settled fact this grouping asserts.
