MORE ABOUT
EOSTRE
Eostre (pron East-ra) was the Anglo-Saxon goddess of the
dawn, from whom "East" (where the sun rises) and
"Easter" got its name - as the fertility goddess of
the Northern European peoples, her legend was manipulated by
the invading Romans - newly Christianised, they merged
Eostre's spring legend to coincide with the time of Christ's
resurrection.
She is also goddess Ostara, the maiden, in German
mythology, celebrated when night and day are equal and
balanced (the spring equinox for the northern hemisphere).
Interestingly, the word "estrus" (referring to an
animal in heat) is also derived from Eostra as her consort was
a rabbit with an extraordinarily high libido!
