Celebrating Ostara, Easter and the Spring Equinox!
Celebrating Ostara, Easter and the Spring Equinox!
Ostara, also known as the Spring Equinox, is a Pagan holiday that celebrates the renewal of life on Earth. There are many traditions associated with this celebration which include eggs and rabbits because they symbolize fertility and rebirth.
Eggs have always been associated with fertility so it makes sense that they would be used at Ostara because it's all about bringing new life into this world.
Rabbits are also another symbol of fertility--their ability to reproduce quickly has made them popular choices for cartoon characters such as Bugs Bunny or Peter Rabbit--and so we see them used often during this time of year as well.
