Ishtar"… was a day that commemorated the resurrection of one of their

(ancient Babylonian) gods that they called "Tammuz", who was believed

to be the only begotten son of… the sun-god.

It is a mockery.

So, Easter - from then on - was commemorated as the time of rebirth, 

renewal, or reincarnation of a major pagan god. He was brought back to 

life - to prove to the world that he was the one who conquered death, and 

that his pagan “ways” were the right ways a person should use for their 

salvation – not Christ.

 

Yet, if we think about it, why shouldn’t the pagans around her believe her 

story? So much of it seemed to be happening all around them; just taking 

on a life of its own.

 

Again, that’s why the festival of Easter (or Ishtar) is intertwined with the 

prevailing themes of fertility, renewal, a descent into darkness, and the 

triumph of light over darkness (or, rather, God’s “darkness”), as well as 

some triumph of good over evil (or, rather, God's "evil").[6]
