Easter didn't come from Ishtar. Eostre is not Ishtar (very different goddesses from different countries). And it's only English and German speaking Christians who refer to the celebration of Jesus' resurrection as "Easter." Nearly everyone else uses a variation on Pesach (Paschal). Although it comes at around the same time as Easter (indeed, the Last Supper was probably a Pesach seder), it is not Easter. According to the Venerable Bede (7th century), The word Easter does not come directly from the deity Eostre, but from the fact that the celebration of the resurrection usually falls in what in Bede's time was still called Eostremonth ( now April), even though it had been centuries since the Anglo Saxons had worshiped Eostre the month still bore her name. This seems reasonable enough, since we still use the names of Roman, Greek, and Nordic gods for the names of some of our months and days.

All pagan holidays originate from the same Satanic roots, and the Catholic church covered up Pope Constantine's high priesthood in the Pagan mysteries by appropriating all Paganism into "Christianity" so yes Easter does originate from Ishtar, who is the same icon as Lilith, Semiramis, Isis, and the "different" goddesses under different names after the fall of Babylon when according to the Bible, God supposedly scattered the people by making them all suddenly speak different languages. Regardless, it's a Satanic holiday that even the Satanists are debating about as we speak.

The problem with your brief histrionic account of history is that it's incomplete, misleading, uniformed, and incorrect on several counts. It makes me not want to take seriously any of info you offer that might be worthwhile.

I'm sorry for putting my inferior amount of knowledge out there. If you could correct the record please do.
