Goddess Eostre Or Ostara

 


 

 

Eostre, also known as Ostara:

To the Saxon and Germanic tribes, she was the goddess of spring.

Eostre is typically portrayed as a teenage girl or a curvy young lady, symbolizing the start of spring and the ripeness contained inside.

Her name is derived from the old word eastre, which means spring.

Eostre's celebration, when she was celebrated as a fertility goddess with decorated eggs and delicious delicacies, inspired the Christian feast Easter.
