Easter ~ Eostre

Christ is Risen!
He is risen indeed!

Ancient words of an ancient blessing evoked to remind us of the miracle of resurrection.

So powerful was this image that long before Christ came, died and was resurrected people had celebrated Eostre, the goddess of fertility and rebirth. Her resurrections were seen in the greening land, the blossoming flowers, the warming air, the new lambs bleating on the hillsides. Her name became the basis of the name of the most important day in the Christian liturgical calendar.

May you see resurrection in whatever your belief you hold and may your day be a grace-full one ~ with blessings
