What is Ostara?

Named for the Germanic goddess Eostre, Ostara is the source of the name of the familiar modern holiday known as Easter. It falls on the Spring Equinox, when the sun is finally beginning to drift meaningfully higher into the sky and bring just enough warmth and light to start the growing season. As the ground warms, plants like heather begin to spread and bloom. All the animals, including rabbits, start thier families as chickens begin to lay eggs as the daylight grows.
