Ostara is a spring festival celebrated by Pagans and Wiccans, typically observed around the vernal equinox in March. It marks the arrival of spring and the rebirth of nature after the winter season. During Ostara, practitioners honor the balance between light and darkness as the days become longer. They celebrate the awakening of the earth by participating in rituals, such as lighting bonfires, performing fertility rites, and decorating eggs as symbols of new life.
