Riiiiight. it had *nothing* to do with Ostare, Ostara, Ostern, Eostra, Eostre, Eostur, Eastra, Eastur, Austron and Ausos, the various derivations of the Teutonic/Celtic dawn goddess or mother goddess, whose rites only look like they resemble the rites of Ishtar, Ashtoreth, Astarte, etc...
ANY similarity is purely coincidental... Really. [/sarc]
Some people have real difficulty when they see it before them in black and white.
The word east, dawn, the rising sun, son is a basic human observation that has nothing to do with a pantheon of gods answer put together by a religion that has an ax to grind with another religion.
