Eostre’s relations:

Eostre is a Germanic version of Bast, introduced to the Germanic people when Pharoah Ramses III hired millions of German warriors to fight against the Sea People. Many of the soldiers returned home and brought back the Egyptian Goddess (so many soldiers also stayed that it permanently changed the previously Black African Egyptians into the lighter skinned people who inhabit the nation now).

Bede wrote (in the 700s) in Temporum Ratione that April was known as “Eostremonth” and is named for the Anglo-Saxon Goddess of the spring:
Eostrumonath has a name which is now translated “Paschal month”, and which was once called after a goddess of theirs named Eostre, in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month. Now they designate that Paschal season by her name, calling the joys of the new rite by the time-honoured name of the old observance.
