Ishtar which is pronounced Easter was a day that commemorated the resurrection of one of their gods that they called Tamuz, who was believed to be the only begotten son of the moon goddess and the sun-god. Her moon egg became known as Ishtar's egg. Ishtar soon became pregnant and claimed that it was the rays of the sun-god Baal that caused her to conceive. The son that she brought forth was named Tammuz.
He was noted to be fond of rabbits,& they became sacred in the ancient religion, because Tammuz was believed to be the son of the sun-god Baal. Tamuzz became a hunter. When he was killed by a wild pig. Queen Ishtar told the people that he was now ascended to his father, Baal, and the two of them would be with the worshippers in the sacred candle or lamp flame as Father, Son and Spirit.
There sat a woman weeping for tammaz. Thou shall see greater abominations. They faced toward the east & worshipped the sun….[Ezekiel 8:13-18]

Easter: Correct, Mixed & False
Easter was originally the celebration of Ishtar, the Assyrian and Babylonian goddess of fertility and sex. Her symbols (like the egg and the bunny) were and still are fertility and sex symbols (or did you actually think eggs and bunnies had anything to do with the resurrection?). After Constantine decision to Christianize the Empire, Easter was changed to represent Jesus. But at its roots, Easter (which is how you pronounce Ishtar) is all about celebrating fertility and sex.
And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect; and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth. [Exodus 23:13]
So why have we compromised this commandment and associated the name of a pagan goddess with the resurrection of our Messiah?
If the children of Israel couldn't use a golden calf to honor the Father, what makes you think you can use Easter (Ashtaroth), the Babylonian goddess of fertility to honor His Son?
"Remove from among you the foreign gods, and images of Ashtaroth. Give your hearts to YHVH and serve only Him." ~ 1 Samuel 7:3-4
