The Germanic goddess Eostre, Anglo-Saxon goddess of Spring, saved a dying bird by turning it into a healthy hare. It retained its bird-like habit of laying eggs, which were given as gifts.
That was the best part of Easter when I was in school. We got the week off after Easter Sunday. Now, in my neck of the woods though, it’s called spring break and occurs before Easter.
