Happy Feast of Ēostre everyone!

Indeed, it is again that wonderful time of the year. Spring is here, the flowers bloom and the animals begin to venture past their winter shelters. Everywhere the earth is being reborn, and to celebrate it is time to partake in the greatest celebration of Ēostur-monath!
So, gather your friends and family and prepare the food! Entertain the children with tales of the hare, a symbol of fertility that exemplifies the sacred dawning of spring, and the heralds of Ēostre's dawn! Lead them in hunting eggs, the clearest example of the rebirth that surrounds them!

What's that? Its actually Easter? We celebrate Christ's rebirth now?
Oh, OK. Well, I guess there are a bunch of new traditions to go with that celebration right?
Huh, I guess not. Looks like they just sort of ran a find-and-replace on the old ones to sub in the word "Christ" everywhere.
Well, what's the explanation for the name Easter? That's got to be an amusing coincidence, being so close to the name of the Goddess and all....
Oh, they just sort of took that to? Well shit.
