'''{{lang|ang|Ēostre}}''' ({{Lang-gem-x-proto|Austrō(n)}}) is a [[List of Germanic deities|West Germanic]] spring goddess. The name is reflected in {{lang-ang|[[Asterisk#Historical linguistics|*]]Ēastre}} ({{IPA-ang|ˈæːɑstre|}}; [[Northumbrian Old English|Northumbrian dialect]]: ''{{lang|ang|Ēastro}}'', [[Mercian dialect|Mercian]] and [[West Saxon dialect (Old English)|West Saxon]] dialects: ''{{lang|ang|Ēostre}}'' {{IPA-ang|ˈeːostre|}}),<ref name="Sievers">Sievers 1901 p. 98</ref><ref>Wright, 85, §208</ref><ref name="EASTETYM">[[Robert Barnhart|Barnhart, Robert K.]] ''The Barnhart Concise Dictionary of Etymology'' (1995) {{ISBN|0-06-270084-7}}.</ref> {{lang-goh|*Ôstara}}, and {{Lang-osx|*Āsteron}}.{{Sfn|Simek|1996|p=74}}{{sfn|Kroonen|2013|p=43}} By way of the [[Germanic calendar|Germanic month]] bearing her name (Northumbrian: ''{{lang|ang|Ēosturmōnaþ}}'', West Saxon: ''{{lang|ang|Ēastermōnaþ}}''; {{lang-goh|Ôstarmânoth|links=no}}), she is the namesake of the festival of [[Easter]] in some languages. The Old English deity Ēostre is attested solely by [[Bede]] in his 8th-century work ''[[The Reckoning of Time]]'', where Bede states that during ''{{lang|ang|Ēosturmōnaþ}}'' (the equivalent of April), [[Anglo-Saxon paganism|pagan Anglo-Saxons]] had held feasts in {{lang|ang|Ēostre|italic=no}}'s honour, but that this tradition had died out by his time, replaced by the Christian [[Easter#Theological significance|Paschal month]], a celebration of the [[resurrection of Jesus]].
