Homonym: Goddess Eostre (Spring)
Goddess Eostre is a figure from ancient Germanic paganism, associated with spring and fertility. Her name is linked to the Old English word for Easter, which reflects themes of renewal and rebirth. Eostre is often depicted with symbols like hares and eggs, which represent fertility and new life.
The celebration of Eostre likely took place during the spring equinox, marking the transition from winter to warmer months. While historical evidence of her worship is limited, she is thought to have influenced various springtime traditions in European cultures, including modern Easter celebrations.
