Which Came First, The Chicken or the Egg?
'Tis the season.
Easter and Ostara are linked through their shared celebration of spring, renewal, and rebirth. Easter, a Christian holiday, commemorates the resurrection of Jesus, while Ostara, a pagan holiday, honors the spring equinox and the awakening of nature. Both holidays utilize similar symbols, like eggs and rabbits, which represent fertility and new life.
Me? I just like bunnies and colored eggs with a few chicks sprinkled about.
I went around the house, opened cupboards and boxes, and pulled what looked "Eastery": a sequinned egg, a Depression glass rabbit with a basket egg holder, and my prized possession, an Easter card from my six-year-old brother in 1955 to his 10-month-old sister—me.
