Then to prove Babylon is still in their hearts they roll brightly colored eggs in homage to Ishtar. And the pagans hide them in rabbits nests to keep them from evil spirits. Waiting for earth-mother to be impregnated by the sun. Read about Christ's death on the cross then go figure this crazy holiday out!

Good catch!

Easter is actually named for the Saxon Goddess of spring and fertility, Eostre (which can be spelled 'Oestre' and is the root of the name of the femaile hormone Oestrogen). Her name may or may not be related to Ishtar. The Easter bunny is a 'fluffified' version of Eostre's messenger and symbol, the Hare.

Happy Eostre!
