Eostre is only mentioned by Bede. And this was 300 years after paganism died out.

There are no writing about this Eostre anywhere else.

You have writing about thor, freyja etc but no Eostte.

There was no pagan goddess called Eostre

“And this was 300 years after paganism died out.”

Paganism dried out? Today, Paganism, is mostly referring to, the neopagan religious movements that are taking place currently in the West. Some examples of such movements are, Wicca, Odinism, Adonism, Druidism and so on. It still is active.

“There are no writing about this Eostre anywhere else. There was no pagan goddess called Eostre”

Here are a number of sites where they mention her:

And there are many more.

“So in conclusion, it should now be quite plain that the day of the year celebrated by Christianity as “Easter” is based only on nothing more than Sun worshipping paganism and unbiblical decrees of the Roman Catholic Church. Why then, does the “Bible Only” Protestant Christian observe it at all? Is this not a contradiction between profession and practice of truly monumental, ... nay, stupifying proportions? Indeed, I believe it is. Despite their good intentions, and mostly in ignorance, they are in fact celebrating the risen Sun, not the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”
