Are you telling me that the word Easter was not used in Virginia?
If NOT, then your words should have been:
pagan names & traditions were banned in[one of]or {some of] the original settlements of America?
Notice how are all coming out in profuse protectionism to their Catholic religion, yet none have said one word that Church of England was also called out onto the carpet for keeping paganism going?The last I heard the Anglicans don't have a papacy going around naming holidays. That was the ridiculous and fantastic allegation to which I was responding.
My head is begining to hurt from laughter...
