Original Note:
Ishtar is a Mesopotamian deity of war and sexual love, not fertility. Her name is pronounced ISH-taar, not EE-str. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Ishtar-Mesopotamian-goddess https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Ishtar+pronunication The image is not that of Ishtar, but Artemis of Ephesus https://www.livius.org/articles/religion/artemis-of-ephesus/ "Christians adopted the tradition of Easter from Ishtar worship" is an old, and debunked, theory https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/easter-is-not-a-secretly-pagan-holiday
