Original Note:
Ishtar has no relationship to Easter. Ishtar's symbols were the lion and various stars not eggs or bunnies. The name Easter is most likely derived from a Germanic deity Eostre not the Mesopotamian goddess. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/anthropology-in-practice/beyond-ishtar-the-tradition-of-eggs-at-easter/ https://factcheck.afp.com/easter-not-derived-name-ancient-mesopotamian-goddess https://www.cmj-israel.org/learn/easter-passover-ishtar-and-myths
