The word stems form a Germanic pagan spring goddess given as Eostrae and is related to aurora (morning red). The Goddess was associated with daylight, later light in general. The word just occurs in German and English. (source: Duden, German etymological dictionary)

Thanks for help John.

according to etymology searches. Easter and the Germanic word Ostern are both from the same word meaning the direction East and are also related to other languages related to the meaning of dawn. Easter is a time of the year, not originally associated with Christ's' resurrection. This only happened when the church decided to hold religious holidays and festivals to coincide with pagan festivals. This applies to Easter and Christmas. If we celebrated on the true religious dates they would be "I cannot remember!!" East-er Eastern easterly direction. The original pagan festivals probably celebrated the sun coming from the East after the winter. And Christmas originally celebrate the end of the longest night and shortest day, it was a time when people could afford to celebrate and eat some of the stored harvest, they did not have long to wait before the spring came from the East and the child feed animals on grass, grow crops and eat better once again, before supermarkets. and airplanes to transport food across the globe.
