Priapus is a Greek God, Roman equivalent Mutinus Mutunus and only a minor god. Hestia is a Greek Goddess of the Hearth, not fertility.

The primary Roman Fertility Deity was a goddess the Bona Dea. There was an annual festival in her honor conducted by the vestal virgins and leading women of Rome held at the temple of the vestal virgins, no men were allowed

The primary Greek Fertility goddess was Demeter -- Roman equivalent Ceres. Ceres not as important in Rome as Bona Dea.

Artemis was a secondary goddess not primarily associated with fertility, but with hunting, with a fertility aspect in some gepographic areas.

Diana was not associated with fertility, being "the virgin lunar goddess"

Technically there is no Christian God of Fertility but their are several "Patron Saints" of Childbirth and Pregnancy. Interesting that a male, Saint Gerard is the patron Saint of Pregnancy...

The greek godess of fertility was Demetra, she was known in the roman speaking world as Diana.

The scandinavian god of fertility was Frey.

There is only one God in Christianity, there is special saint for fertility and I think is Saint George.

you meant Goddesses :+)

Diana (Roman), Artemis (Greek),

Fertility Goddess. Moon Goddess. Huntress Goddess. Triple Goddess- Lunar Virgin, Mother of Creatures, the Huntress or Destroyer. Goddess of nature, fertility, childbirth, wildwood, moon, forests, animals, mountains, woods, and women. Goddess of the hunt. In Roman art Diana usually appears as a huntress with bow and arrow, along with a hunting dog or a stag. Both a virgin goddess and an earth goddess, she was identified with the Greek Artemis. She is praised for her strength, athletic grace, beauty and her hunting skills. With two other deities she made up a trinity: Egeria the water nymph (her servant and assistant midwife), and Virbius (the woodland god).

for the christian goddess (yep another woman!!) it is Oestre, she is known and celebrated by the christian on Easter :+)

Most Christians are unaware of the origins of their religion or its holidays. Easter, the second-most popular Christian holiday, is actually an ancient pagan festival. In fact, Easter was celebrated hundreds of years before the supposed birth of Jesus. It wasn't until at least 300 years after the establishment of the Christian church that the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus began to be intermingled with the practices of Easter. You should know the truth.

Spring Equinox is the time when day and night are equal, when plants begin to burst forth from the earth, leaves appear on the trees, and insects begin to move once again. Spring is the time when Persephone returns from the underworld as a young girl and she and her mother, Demeter, Goddess of the Grain, giver of the crops, play together in the fields and usher in new growth. The celebration of Easter occurs close to the time of this equinox.

Oestre or Eostar was a feast of the Goddess Ishtar/Astarte/Esther and celebrated her rebirth. The egg was used as a symbol for Eostar as it represented the re-birth of the Goddess and all of nature.

According to the Venerable Bede (672-735), Christian historian and theologian, writing in the 8th century, the name Easter is from the festival of Oestre (sometimes spelled "Estre"), pronounced "Eestruh", the Anglo-Saxon Goddess of Spring, fertility and rebirth. It is easy to see how "Eastre time" became "Easter time".

I can tell you there is no god of fertility for the Christians. They only believe in one god so you could say he is it.

Isis the god of fertility and virgin mother of Horus. Her symbol of was the Ichthus.

Meatballs might suggest seed, but not fertility, I'll think on that one.

With the FSM of fertility be Chianti?

I reasoned it like this: It must be related to Italian food, and it must have the properties of an aphrodesiac, to be the god of fertility.

My guess is Chianti.
