hate to break it to yea but in Modern times the connection between Eostre and spring has been disputed. and many think that if she was a goddess of some kind she was a local protection goddess. Oddly enough the the one clear clear reference to any pagan goddess called Eostre, and even that is slightly uncertain. Is actually found in an early medieval Christian work focused on the calculation of the date of Easter. In 725 AD and English monk and scholar Bede wrote "De temporum ratione" or “The Reckoning of Time” to help monks calculate the date for Easter.

("Eostremonath has a name which is now translated Paschal month, and which was once called after a goddess of theirs named Eostre, in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month. Now they designate that Paschal season by her name, calling the joys of the new rite by the time-honoured name of the old observance.” (Bede, De temporum ratione, XV)

Also in your argument you brought up the Council of Nicea that First had it's first meeting In 325 AD when it was first called by Constantine the great. The first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity. While the primary issue for the Council was sorting out the Arian Controversy over the nature of the Trinity, the Council also ruled on when Easter should be celebrated. as the date had been an issue within Christianity for some time by that point. An some reports note that as early as 190 AD there where disputes about the date.

So if the main reference we have for Eostre or Ostara being in 725 AD I can't be possible that it is the foundation of Easter as you are claiming here.

Side note the first Council of Nicea was was around 400 years before Christianity came to England and encountered any worshippers of Eostre. So even if there was a goddess The only thing Eostre seems to have given to Easter is her name.

Don't know where you're getting that info from, but I actually looked all this up from multiple sources prior to posting. Don't contribute to further lies for the sake of a false religion.

very well. at least 2 of your sources support my information in part at a quick glace.

Britannica.
(The earliest recorded observance of an Easter celebration comes from the 2nd century, though the commemoration of Jesus’ Resurrection probably occurred earlier. The English word Easter, which parallels the German word Ostern, is of uncertain origin. One view, expounded by the Venerable Bede in the 8th century, was that it derived from Eostre, or Eostrae, an Anglo-Saxon goddess possibly associated with spring and fertility. (In the modern era the connection between Eostre and spring has been disputed; she may have been a local protective deity rather than a fertility figure.) This view presumes—as does the view associating the origin of Christmas on December 25 with pagan celebrations of the winter solstice—that Christians appropriated pagan names and holidays for their highest festivals. Given the determination with which Christians combated all forms of paganism (the belief in multiple deities), this appears a rather dubious presumption. There is now widespread consensus that the word derives from the Christian designation of Easter week as in albis, a Latin phrase that was understood as the plural of alba (“dawn”) and became eostarum in Old High German, the precursor of the modern German and English term. The Latin and Greek Pascha (“Passover”) provides the root for Pâques, the French word for Easter.)

Note the comments about easter being celebrated in the 2nd century (101 AD-200 AD) and Eostre noted by Bebe in 8th century (701 AD - 800 AD) Along with other comments in this opening passage saying that Easter and Christmas being appropriated Pegan holidays is "a rather dubious presumption"

Also from your source of sky History.
(What about the name 'Easter', where did that come from? It is believed that in most European countries, the name came from the Hebrew word 'Pesach', otherwise known as Passover - the Jewish springtime holiday. However, in English-speaking languages and Germany, some historians have argued the word derives from a pagan springtime goddess called Ēostre, who is documented by an Anglo-Saxon monk who wrote during the 8th century AD. Ēostre was a goddess celebrated with a festival during the spring equinox and according to some scholars, her association with hares is the origin of the Easter Bunny story, although this is still hotly debated.)

This notes several times that is information is "Some not all Historians", and "according to some scholars" finely "this is still hotly debated" ends the paragraph. and that in my mind is Far from the Fact you have suggested it is in your original post. And parts of some of them support my Information as well.

Also the site you are saying is blatantly Religious Propaganda is a blog created by an Australian atheist with a Bachelors Degree with Honors in English and History and a research Masters Degree from the University of Tasmania, with a specialization in historical analysis of medieval literature. So that is Debatable As well.

Christianity took over a lot of pagan holidays and replaced them with their own simply because it was easier to convert pagans if the big holidays lined up with ones the pagans were all ready celebrating.

Not saying I agree with that, and I do consider myself as a christian in the end but I do not believe that christianity or any other religion is the one true path to a good afterlife and it is and should be more about how you are as a person.

This is why we seldomly let alone celebrate Easter and take the word from the christian teachings. Just propaganda and lies. I just like it for the colorfulness of the easter eggs and of course the chocolate candies. That’s it.

The candy is definitely one of my favorite parts. The Peeps marshmallow candies are top tier.
