In short it is the light of Jesus' human soul. His soul is created glorified.What do you think it is?

I am not a Jew.
Acts 15:28-29
For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from unchastity. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.

It's just as likely that it is derived from the Old Teutonic German for "resurrection. They all share the same root.
Your source is not reliable. There is no historical evidence of any feast being celebrated for Eostre beyond that single brief mention by Venerable Bede which only refers to the naming of the month. Do we celebrate a feast in honour of Julius Caesar in July?Easter (n.)
Old English Easterdæg, from Eastre (Northumbrian Eostre), from Proto-Germanic *austron-, "dawn," also the name of a goddess of fertility and spring, perhaps originally of sunrise, whose feast was celebrated at the spring equinox, from *aust- "east, toward the sunrise" (compare east), from PIE root *aus- (1) "to shine," especially of the dawn
So now you're an Etymologist?
Let's see the proof of your assertion, which flies in the face of what a reliable source purports on this subject.

Normally things tend to be normal, rather than abnormal; but don't let that stop you from continuing to look for a convoluted solution.
Is that it; just abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from unchastity; and all else is fair play?
Is that what you're saying?
Easily done. All it requires is a contrite heart.Matthew 5:20
King James Bible
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Context does not support your misuse of the passage.(CLV) Eph 4:17
This, then, I am saying and attesting in the Lord: By no means are you still to be walking according as those of the nations [the Gentiles] also are walking, in the vanity of their mind,
Eostre instead may refer to the dawn, the rising of the sun in the east, corresponding with days starting earlier.
Context does not support your misuse of the passage.
No evidence of that either. It is just a name.So in other words Sun worship?
He just wants to be contrary. He has all the answers so he is unteachable. He isn't going to let any silly facts change what he knows to be true.Sometimes I wonder why I even bother.
Read it in the context of the rest of the chapter where Paul defines what he means by "walking like a Gentile"How done one misuse the context of 'not walking like a Gentile?'
Your focus on the word Easter, as if that explained the feast seems totally misguided. Many of us have pointed out it was called Pascha in the early Church. Given this, how do you explain the feast's origins from that word which means Passover?So in other words Sun worship? How is this any better?
