While the observance of the death and resurrection of Jesus and paganism do not relate, Easter is held at the same time as the pagan celebration of Eastre, a pagan celebration to the goddess Eastre. Also, some of the traditions of Easter arose from pagan practices. One example is the Easter Bunny. Rabbits and hares were symbols of fertility in the pagan rituals and actually have nothing to do with Christianity.
Christianity is a borrowed religion. Many of their rituals are borrowed from Pagan religion. Christmas and Easter is a borrowed ritual from Paganism. The birth of Jesus on December 25th is not the birth of Jesus. It is the birth of the Pagan Sun-God. Easter Sunday is not the day Jesus rose from the dead. It is the resurrection of the Pagan Sun-God. Fact is: There is no truth to the Christian religion. Christianity is a borrowed religion from ancient Paganism.

Ostern = Easter. The modern English term comes from the Old English word Eastre, which was in use prior to 899. The Eostur-monath, a month of the Germanic calendar, may have been named for the pagan goddess Eostre in Anglo-Saxon paganism, but documentation of this goddess is almost non-existant.
