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.
