Ishtar, Astarte, Easter..................
The word "Easter" has no proven connection to the worship of ancient Assyrian, Egyptian and Babylonian goddesses. It is, in fact, a quirk of the English language that most of us here know the celebration by that name. In practically all non-English speaking countries (and among the Eastern Orthodox) it is known as "Pascha" (or some variation thereof) by Christians (the name means "Passover" as Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was the fulfillment of the OT Passover). For example in Spanish, "Happy Easter" is "Feliz Pascua."
