None since it is a Christian holiday. If I had to pick one, it would be Isis though. She facilitates the rebirth of Osiris, who then brings life to the region via the Nile’s silt deposits.

Easter comes from the word Ishtar, who was a Babylonian pagan fertility goddess of the Babylonian Mystery Religion of Sun-worship on Sundays; which is why it is celebrated with eggs, because eggs are a sign of fertility.

Ostara is the one I believe most closely matches Easter. She represents fertility and renewal just as spring has sprung.
Did you know: Eggs were (and still are!) dyed or painted bright colors as an offering to Ostara. Dawn is the best time to invoke her. In days of old, fires were lit at dawn in her honor. It always amazes me how traditions like this survive over the millennia.—

Ostara is the name of the Virgin Goddess of Spring originating in ancient Germany. Persephone would be another good one due to the representation of her yearly journey out of the underworld. The Catholic church assigned St. Patrick as the saint whose feast day was supposed to replace this Sabbat. However, Ostara is already past (Vernal Equinox).

“”Easter” is derived from “Eostre,” the pagan Anglo-Saxon goddess, and/or “Eostare,” the Norse pagan festival of spring.”
The holiday has strong pagan roots and was adapted by christianity in an attempt to convert pagans to christianity. Christianity just took all the pagan aspects of the holiday and gave them christian meanings. This allowed the pagans to practice their holiday while still being “christianly.”

It’s Eoster. No matter what some people will say, Easter was not about Christ in the begining. Pull you nose out of the Bible long enough to read some actual history and you’ll learn something.
Easter was first and foremost a Pagan holiday. It wasn’t about Christ until early Christians co-opted it. I don’t mind sharing my holiday with the Christians, but I do wish some of them would learn the facts before they show their ignorance.

NONE. Easter IS the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ… the Son of God… NOT the Son of a goddess.

The Christian Easter holiday is a takeoff from pagan celebrations for spring that was turned into the celebration of the resurrection of Christ during early church history, when church fathers were attempting to eliminate pagan holidays by replacing them with Christian.
Some believe the holiday is named after Eostre (a.k.a. Eastre). She was the Great Mother Goddess of the Saxon people in Northern Europe. Each different people had similar goddesses, but with different names. Here are a few that fit with the spring-easter rites.
Aphrodite, Cyprus
Ashtoreth, Israel
Astarté, Greece
Demeter, Mycenae
Hathor, Egypt
Ishtar, Assyria
Kali, India
Ostara, Norse

Ishtar, pronounced Easter.
Jesus Christ died on the Passover, at this moment, 2000 years ago He was having the last supper with His Apostles, tomorrow day, would have been when He died. So lets now go three days and three nights and see when we really should be celebrating Resurrection Day. Wednesday evening to Thursday evening would be the first night and day. Thursday evening to Friday evening would be the second night and day, Friday evening to Saturday evening would be the third night and day.
So just like the year He was crucified and Rose again, it will be Saturday evening , after sunset sometime,which will be the first day of the week, Sunday.
Also Resurrection Day is not always on a Sunday! It is according to the Jewish Calander, and they should know, after all it was God that gave them the exact times to follow, you can find this out by reading Leviticus 23.

All I know is that celebrating the Easter becomes “idolatrous” (sin) because of those demon gods…
I mean, c’mon…
