Was a Germanic goddess Eostre or Ostara ever honored in the old days? Are Easter and the German 'Ostern' named after her? Does the widespread Easter lore have roots in ancient pagan rituals? The answers to these questions are disputed among both laymen and scholars. Often it can be hard to distinguish between faith and facts. Therefore, the available sources have been brought together in this book and offered with explanatory notes. However, it is left to the reader to consider whether in Germany a goddess Ostara, Eostar or Ostera was worshiped as was Eostre in England.

Behind the name GardenStone hides a Dutch author who, with the choice of that name, both tries to protect his private life while making it clear that his nom de plume is a pseudonym. At home in the beautiful Taunus Hills in Germany he actualizes his writing projects, which almost all employ in-depth research based on serious attempts to maintain a high scientific level. Nevertheless, he does not see academically educated people as his primary audience. Because he hopes to reach a much wider reading public, a strong accent of his books lies in the use of conversational language and effortless reading. With the little book about Eostre or Ostara one of his minor projects is realized.
