Saturday, 30th March. It is Easter Saturday. In past times the spring equinox and the next full moon were sacred to the Saxon goddess Ostara or Eostre . She was the goddess of fertility and new growth. English Christians made use of the name for “Easter”, the festival marking the resurrection of Christ. Cornish speakers use the name “Pask” from the Latin word “pascha”. The symbols of Ostara are the hare (an animal with long ears) and eggs. Children like to look for eggs (chocolate) hidden by Easter Hare (or Rabbit). 

May you all have a Happy Easter tomorrow.
