Today we honor Eastre
Jan 28, 2013

A Teutonic lunar Goddess, Eostres chief symbols were the rabbit (she was often seen in this form at the full moon), and the egg (representing the cosmic egg of creation). She is the source of the customs of "Easter Eggs" and the "Easter Bunny".The name Eostre is said to be related to the word east, which many believe makes her a dawn goddess The goddesss original name has been lost, for the name of her springtime rising of the sap festival was translated into Latin, before the Roman legions left in the 5th century, it would be reasonable to suppose. In the 8th century, Bede wrote : . The word Paschal comes from the greek word pascha - meaning Passover. Hence the drawing together of so many different cultural festivals at Ostara/Easter. .
