Happy Eastern!
I've heard many Germans add an "n" to the end of the Easter Holiday. "Eastern" is an adjective meaning situated to the east. Not sure where Germans picked up this habit, but have a happy Easter!

Probably because of the German counterpart: "Frohe Ostern!"
This ends with an 'n' and even more misleadingly "East" translates to "Ost".
