Flowers bloom, the trees have new leaves and baby animals are born.
Our ancestors were even more pleased to see the spring than we are. Winters were very hard for them, their houses were cold and they had almost no food left after the Winter. They were so glad to see Spring that they had a special celebration. Before Jesus was born, the people living in northern Europe had a goddess called Eostre, the goddess of Spring. Every year in Spring the people had a festival for her.
