And.....
Fertility. Is it possible that’s where this word derives from also.

Estrogen, or oestrogen, is a category of sex hormone responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics. There are three major endogenous estrogens that have estrogenic hormonal activity: estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), and estriol(E3). Estradiol, an estrane, is the most potent and prevalent. Another estrogen called estetrol (E4) is produced only during pregnancy.

Yes, that's what I have always understood too. Easter/Estrogen and the concept/origins of new life.

Correct!

Lots of pre-Christian Spring goddesses who were celebrated with festivals at this time of year:
Old English ‘Ēostre’
High German ‘Ostara’
Proto-Germanic ‘Austrǭ’
Lithuanian ‘Aušrinė’
Roman ‘Aurora’
Greek ‘Eos’
Hindu ‘Ushas’
Babylonian ‘Ishtar’

...all the way back to the very old (~6,000 years old) Proto-Indo-European ‘Hausōs’.

Fertility, birth, eggs, Spring, dawn, sunrise, the Vernal Equinox.

It's quite a lovely festival really, even without the idea of faith or religion.

A stunning day, all the windows are open around me, time for the neighbour to whip out his noisy, underpowered hand tool and spend the entire day hacking away at paving slabs. I say 'slabs', it's been a couple of hours and I'm not convinced he's finished the first one yet.

Eosturmonath is with us once more signalling the arrival of spring and new beginings. Also a time to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and to mark the end of Lent.

Nothing on tommorow as the atmos is somewhat sombre so not really a day to celebrate, however we're looking forward to the big game Saturday and also Sunday's ressurection. For Sunday dinner we're having cook in the bag Chicken, Goose Fat roasties, mash, peas and Bisto gravy with Gordons and frozen cheese cake for after. Blessed are the cheesemakers.

Whatever your doing have a wonderful time and a very Happy Easter to all
