easter celebration of goddess Ēostre or ostara spring fertility goddess , sign of renewal in spring. egg , bunny comes fact patron of lost children.
story goes ostara came across group of lost children in woods. seeing village sending out search party , find children keep them calm , entertained them magic. @ 1 point turning bird rabbit. confused animal started hopping around laying eggs delight of children.
