The position of the Spring Equinox on the Wheel of the Year is East. The position of the Dawn, Air, new light and new beginnings.
Ostara, or Spring Equinox, is on Friday March 20

I guess its no coincidence that Ostara morphed into East-er then. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis one didn't get changed much at all, despite the best efforts of the Church. The resurrection of spring and the celebration of the goddess Eostre was turned into the resurrection of Christ and the feast of Easter.....I think it must have been a combined celebration for a while, at the very least. *grin*
ReplyDeleteIt's also a good day to plant for the garden, dig over for veggies and re-potting of house plants! I can't wait i'll be planting a bean (will post) that my brother bought me lol
