To early humans, a shell cracking to reveal new life in a way so different from mammalian reproduction must have seemed both alien and miraculous. Yet, as birds populate every continent, it was also a ubiquitous phenomenon, which may partly explain why eggs became universal symbols of life and resurrection.

Ancient peoples linked the magic of this parcel of new life to creation itself, believing that the world was formed from a cosmic egg. Such an egg features in the ancient beliefs of India, Egypt, Greece and Phoenicia. In one account, Brahma, the Hindu creator, appeared from a golden egg that floated in universal waters while Chronos, the Greek personification of Time, produced an egg from which the world’s creator emerged.

Ostara is the maiden goddess of Spring, and it is said that she transformed a bird into a rabbit, who had the remarkable ability to lay colorful eggs! As legend has it, the rabbit returned every year at the Spring Equinox Festival (also known as the Ostara, or Eostre Festival) to lay its rainbow eggs!
