EASTER if seen as an emblem of
"Life bouncing back or Spring" ...
virtually a universal idea.
The words to describe this event link with
rising sun ... hormones
rising bread ... cereals
arising buds ... eggs
EAST ESTRUS ESTROGEN
YEAST YOLK OVUM
LEVANT LEVEN LIGHT ELEVATE
PASCH PASSOVER
Most Western Religions strive to make of
EASTer a "Homo-centric" celebration ...
but to this day in Ukraine, newcomers are
offered freshly baked bread as if to thank
"Mother Earth" Ceres for the Cereals ...
We throw grains over the head of newlyweds as a
wish for fertility ...
EASTer in classic mythology relates to the
season when Persephone, the daughter of Ceres,
returns to earth from Hades to visit Venus and
start a new season ...
A more recent addition to western EASTer
repertoire is the EASTer EGG ... an ancient
emblem in Eastern Europe - in Ukraine some EASTer
eggs are called PYSANKA to denote their exquisite
decorations perhaps of greater symbolic value than
the EASTer Eggs by Faberge.
