Easter - Ostara . . . a refrain in my heart!
Which do we honor? Who do we honor?
When in doubt, do both?! I imagine this
would be difficult unless one were simply
celebrating without paying attention to
meaning. Same holiday, different belief
systems. Ostara is the Pagan Easter, as
my parents called it when I was young.
We weren't even allowed to participate in
Easter egg hunts as that would be tres-
passing on Pagan boundaries. Easter,
the Christian version of Ostara, is a fab
celebration, including such child-like joys
as the infamous Easter egg hunts, above
mentioned. Bottom line, both holidays
have wondrous messages. We all enjoy
them and I honor this growing policy of
mutual acceptance within our human tribes.
