The Spring Equinox is a solar festival celebrating the time when the day and night are of equal length.

It is not known whether there was a name for this festival within Celtic culture but it is believed to be related to the northern goddess Ēostre or Ostara which, in turn, inspired the Christian festival of Easter.

We have lots going on at Our Celtic Hearth, take a look and we hope to see you soon!
