Timekeeping and Holytides
I was watching a video on YouTube by Ocean Keltoi, Eostre / Ostara |Who Was the Pagan Easter Goddess? , and I have a few issues with a few points he has made. First, I live Ocean and I watch most of his videos which I find them informative and entertaining. The video explains the origins and misconceptions by some modern Heathens surrounding Easter and Eostre/Ostara. He makes a lot of points stating that the modern practice does not jive with the historical evidence we currently have.

Keltoi makes a big stink about months, mostly March and April, and that Eostre/Ostara is not held in March at the Spring Equinox but in April. Keltoi points to the Anlo-Saxon names of these months, Hrēðmonath and Eostremonath. The latter being modern April and the moth of Eostre or Easte
