Found it (cheated: used Google Earth)!

Did you know that Easter is a modern, Christianized celebration of the Pagan holiday Eostre? Ever the negotiators, the Romans Christianized Pagan religions in an effort to form a homogenous society They were all about control, see. The people still got their celebration and time off from work, but they were "officially" worshiping Jesus instead of some Pagan goddess. The Romans were experts at this. Eostre was a fertility festival to honor the coming of spring, hence the eggs and rabbits, both obvious symbols of fertility. What better way to celebrate the rebirth of the Lord? Consider that the date Easter settles on each year varies. This is because it falls on the first sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox (the official start of spring, when the northern hemisphere begins to tilt back towards the sun in its orbit. March 21, I believe). If that's not Druidic, I don't know what is.

Funny, she didn't look Druish.

ba-domm-domm-pah.

apologies to Mel Brooks and Christians. I mean no offense.
