Eostre from early Anglo-Saxon
  • The name Eostre is said to be related to the
    word east which many believe makes her a dawn
    goddess.
  • The white lily, the symbol of resurrection, is
    the special Easter flower. Rabbits and colored
    eggs have come from pagan antiquity as symbols of
    new life.

  • Eostre is connected with renewal and fertility.
  • The germanic Goddess of fertility and spring,
    Eostre (pronounced yoster) or easter, was
    celebrated with the ritual lightning of dawn
    fires as a protection for the crops. She
    symbolizes spring time, new growth, and rebirth.
