If you were raised a Christian, you'll have noticed by now that the Christian holiday of Easter coincides very closely with Summer Finding. You may have even noticed that Eostre is a name very similar to Easter. In fact, like most Christian holidays, Easter was orchestrated by the early Catholic Church to coincide with Pagan spring fertility festivals, in order to coopt some of their symbols and retain converts. Easter bunnies and painted eggs, for example, are ancient symbols of fertility (think about the rabbit thing for a moment and you'll understand).
