#FolkloreSunday
Folklore links the hare to the moon, death, rebirth & Easter. Eostre, Celtic goddess of spring, is said to be the namesake of the Christian holiday. For her, hares are sacred messengers, and at the full moon she assumes the shape of one.

According to Venerable Bede, April is known as Eostremonath, named for Eostre, a goddess whom the Anglo-Saxons honored in the spring. Eostre is associated with fertility, spring, flowers, and her animal symbol of a bunny.
Wishing all my friends a Happy Easter!
