@ mockingjay1182 - 1.05.19 - 04:10pm The Welsh/Brythonic name for this festival is Alban Eilir, meaning the light of spring, and it is the turning point within the season of Imbolc, marking the time of equal night and day when the sun rises in the east. By the calendar it is at a specific point around 21-22 March and a great many of its traditions have been taken on by the Christian Church and blended into Easter, a word that itself stems from the Saxon goddess Eostra, having the same root as oestrus and oestrogen. That's not very specific lol. |
