I am not sure if I am spelling it right, but I am going to talk about the Goddess Estare. My mother has told me for years that the Easter Bunny, like so many other Christian Holidays and Saints was based on the Goddess Estare's own little miracle. One day, spring came, but it was still very cold. One night, the cold came back, and a little bird froze. Estare came upon this bird and brought it back to life. But, having been dead, the bird came back in the form of a rabbit. So, as tribute to the Goddess who saved his life, every Easter, or , the rabbit/bird lays eggs. You know, rabbits have live young, so the story of a rabbit who just lays eggs does not ring true. My mother, upon reading this, will probably go on a rant on how Christianity is based on Paganism, and I will assuage her, as I always do around every Paganism-rooted "Christian" holiday. Go outside at some point this week, put your hand over a plant, and ask Estare to bless it, just as she blesses nature every spring. Thanks-Maize.
