You can say what you want about “Páshka” or “Passover”, but there’s no way in Hell “Easter” isn’t related to “Ēostre” (and “estrus,” and “east” – think ‘rising sun’ – and spring/rebirth/fertility concepts in general). Just because a holiday may not have been appropriated from an earlier one for the Greeks or Romans, doesn’t mean it wasn’t appropriated from an earlier one for the Germanic peoples.
