Easter gets its name from the Teutonic goddess of spring and the dawn, whose name is spelled Oestre or Eastre (the origin of the word “east” comes from various Germanic, Austro-Hungarian words for dawn that share the root for the word “aurora” which means “ to shine”). Her chief symbols were the rabbit for fertility and the egg representing the cosmic egg of creation. This is where the customs of Easter Eggs and the Easter bunny originated.Blessed Be in the Season of Spring! Go Forth and Flower! -- source link
