In 325 CE, the Council of Nicaea established a standardized date for Easter, aligning it with the Jewish Passover. They decreed that Easter should be observed on the first Sunday after the full moon following the vernal equinox, ensuring its proximity to Passover. However, it's crucial to recognize that Easter and Passover are distinct celebrations.

Ishtar, also known as Inanna in Sumerian mythology, held immense significance in ancient Mesopotamia. As a multifaceted goddess associated with love, war, fertility, and political power, Ishtar left an indelible mark on the cultures of the Near East during the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE. Represented in artifacts and revered for her power to create and destroy life, Ishtar's influence extended throughout the region.

The festival known as Easter, which later became associated with Christian tradition, originated as a celebration of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Long before Christianity's emergence, communities honored the renewal of life and the changing seasons through various rituals and festivities.

Furthermore, the concept of atonement for sins through the death of an individual is not unique to Christianity but has roots in Euro-Gentile mythology. The narrative of Jesus' resurrection, purportedly occurring on the third day after his crucifixion, raises questions when examined closely. According to the Gregorian calendar, a day spans 24 hours. If Jesus was crucified on Friday evening, his resurrection on the "third day" would logically occur on Monday morning, not Sunday.

By unraveling the historical and mythological layers surrounding Easter, we gain a deeper understanding of its origins and evolution over time. From the ancient worship of Ishtar to the Christian commemoration of Jesus' resurrection, Easter serves as a testament to the enduring interplay between religious beliefs, cultural practices, and seasonal observances.
