   My wife told me the other day about Easter or Eostre who is the Roman Goddess or Ancient Germanic Goddess of the month of April. Her companions are Easter Bunnies that she hangs out with and her nature is the fertility of Spring. So, no surprise that Easter mingled with Jesus and the Resurrection but is still Called Easter in Europe and the U.S. and Canada and Australia and various other places around the world still today. 

   
   

   Anyway, after all these years Easter makes a whole lot more sense to me now after learning who Easter or Eostre actually was and is.
   
   Also, under Easter or Eostre (Etymology) I found:
   Ēostre derives from Proto-Germanic *Austrō, ultimately from a PIE root *h₂ewes- (→ *awes-), "to shine", and therefore closely related to a reconstructed name of *h₂ewsṓs, the dawn goddess, which would account for Greek "Eos", Roman "Aurora", and Indian "Ushas".^[1] The modern English term "Easter" is the direct continuation of Old English Ēastre, whose role as a goddess is attested solely by Bede in the 8th century.^[2] Ēostre is the Northumbrian form, while Ēastre is more common West Saxon.^[3]
