A rabbit alerts Easter that more guests have arrived and she leaves.Įaster opens the door to greet Hannah Brown (Judy Garland from Easter Parade) and one of the Children dressed as Don Hewes (Fred Astaire). Easter asks Sweeney if he was working for Wednesday and explains to Laura that she was killed by a god, making it so she can't regift life to Laura.
She looks into Laura's eyes to see the exact moment of death and spots a raven and Mad Sweeney as the last image on Laura's retinas. Easter explains she doesn't resurrect, she grants "relife" but first she needs to know the specifics of Laura's death. Laura admits that she is always thirsty and cold. Easter is angry Mad Sweeney brought a dead girl into her home but she owes Sweeney a favor. A rabbit whispers into Ostara's ear and she hurriedly leaves Wednesday alone.Įaster finds Laura in a bathroom, coughing up maggots. Wednesday suggests to Ostara that she should take away the spring to make the people pray to her. He promises her she will be worshiped if she makes them worship her. He lies to her that the New Gods killed Vulcan and presents to her the sword Vulcan crafted for him. Wednesday insists that it is her day, not theirs. She is angry that Wednesday has insulted Jesus, especially on their shared day. Jesus feels bad for stealing Ostara's day and Ostara tries to comfort him before she drags Wednesday and Shadow inside to speak in private. Ostara does all the work of bringing spring, yet Jesus gets all the prayers. Wednesday argues that millions might observe some of the rituals of Easter but not many actually speak her name in worship. Wednesday tries swaying her to his side but she insists she's doing fine without his help.
Shadow is in awe of Ostara and escorts her around the grounds of her estate. Wednesday points out Ostara to Shadow, the queen they've come to enlist. The guests are decked out in holiday costumes and Shadow sees a Madonna nursing a baby Jesus. Wednesday leads Shadow inside a Kentucky mansion where a banquet is laid out for Easter Sunday.
