The pre-Christian Saxons had a spring goddess Eostre, whose feast was held on the Vernal Equinox, around 21st March. Her animal was the spring Hare, and the new life of the land was symbolised by the egg. The festival was ideally placed in time to be absorbed into Christians' celebration of the Resurrection of Christ, held each year on a complicatedly-calculated date between 22nd March and 25th April. Pope Gregory the Great's canny instruction to missionaries to use old religious places and festivals for Christian purposes, rather than destroy them, lead to Eostre's name being applied to this season, and many of the attributes of her feast being adopted seamlessly into Christian celebration.

Funny how that works, isn't it? Silly Christians, Eostre is for Pagans.
