The celebration of Easter is rich in folklore with multi-religious origins. Ancient Anglo-Saxons would feast with the onset of springtime at a festival honoring the goddess "Eastra" or "Ostra." Idolized on earth as a rabbit, she was the deity of spring and renewal. Hence, the symbolism associated with Easter reflects rebirth or fertility such as the egg and the bunny. In modern times, Easter is most-widely regarded as a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
