:}\nIsn't it interesting that many of these same Correspondences have been retained in the Christian celebration of easter. Not only have they been retained, but they have taken on new and meaningful symbolism. \nEven the name of the Holiday:  Eostre's Day and Easter Day \nEaster bunnies and colored eggs including the Pastel Colours:\nPink, Yellow, Grass Green, Robin's Egg Blue\n\nI for one am thankful that pagan holiday which was as lust oriented as was the Vernal Equinox could have been apropiated to such an important spiritual purpose.

Actually, the Easter Bunny has everything to do with Easter. \n\nEaster is derived from an ancient Germanic name for the month of April, Eostremonat--or rather Eostre Month, in dedication to the goddess Eostre. Eostre, or Ostara was a German goddess of fertility and her return was marked by the coming of spring and the sun. The Ost in her name refers to the East--the rising of the sun. The rebirth of the day and the rebirth of the spring were her specialties, and her celebrations occured during the vernal equinox--the first day of spring. Of course calendar dates have gotten juggled about for quite a few different reasons over time and now April is no longer where it once was on the calendar at what is now March 21st.\n\nThe rabbit was a traditional symbol of the goddess because of its great fertility, and the fact that the coming of spring marked the time when all of the little bunnies were seen starting to be born.\n\nWhen Christianity became the predominant religion it was an easy transition to introduce the rebirth of the Christ figure into the already extant birth and rebirth tradition. Old ways die hard, and the bunny stuck around. \n\nAlthough there are several explanations for the eggs the Easter bunny brings, (other than eggs are another traditional symbol of birth/rebirth) the most likely is that eggs were forbidden during the fast of lent, and were decorated and eaten in abundance to mark the end of the fast.\n\nGerman protestants although breaking with Roman Catholocism liked the egg tradition and kept it. And when German immigrants came to America, they brought with them the traditions of the Osterhase (Easter hare) and his eggs.\n\nInasmuch as Christianity has stolen the ancient goddess' name for their own holiday, it seems only fitting that its original mascot still puts in an appearance each year.

Ostara is the one I believe most closely matches Easter. She represents fertility and renewal just as spring has sprung. \n\nDid you know: Eggs were (and still are!) dyed or painted bright colors as an offering to Ostara. Dawn is the best time to invoke her. In days of old, fires were lit at dawn in her honor. It always amazes me how traditions like this survive over the millennia.---

Many of the obvious celestial bodies have names which are carried over from tradition and history.  Examples include Terra (the Earth), Luna (the moon), Sol (the sun), Neptune, Venus, Mars, etc.  You'll note many of these carry the names of Greek gods.  However, today the International Astronomical Union uses a variety of naming conventions to assign proper names to the objects in our universe.  When a new object is observed, the Union uses its rules to name it so that scientists around the world can use a 'common language' when discussing it.  Examples of star names include Polaris (the North Star, located at the Celestial North Pole), Proxima Centauri (the closest known star) and Wolf 359, a real star system that was chosen as the site for a legendary battle with the Borg in the 'Star Trek' universe.  You might read the link in the 'sources' section for more information.\nPS: Websites that let you 'name a star' are purely cosmetic and the assigned names are in no way recognized by the Union or printed in academic star charts.  You would be better off using a desktop publishing program and designing a nice 'plaque' yourself if you wanted to make a gag gift.

I think they should continue with the Greek/Roman God tradition. I'd put my vote for Hera (in greek) Juno (in Roman). She might as well have one.
