As most of us know (the elders at least) Easter in the western world is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox.
Couldn't get much more pagan than that!
Osestra included a celebration of the awakening world of vegetation and little animals being born. What's more appropriate than eggs?

DeleteOh, those eggs! Perhaps in another lifetime I'll learn how to do that.
ReplyDeleteI learned early on how to blow out the innards of eggs, then could paint them as people, animals etc and have little collars for them to sit upon. Crafty me didn't eat hard boiled eggs!
