What was the pagan feast that occurred at the same time as the resurrection of Christ?
Are you thinking of Passover? That was hardly Pagan, being Jewish. The Roman calendar being solar and the Jewish calendar being lunar/solar, you need the exact year of the crucifixion in order to figure out what Roman festival would have aligned with. There is no scholarly consensus about this date, and the Roman calendar is cluttered with minor feast days.

In what ceremony do most Christians drink wine and eat bread to represent the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ?
It's called the Eucharist which was adopted by the early Christians from pagan rites of the Mithras' faithful, who celebrated a sacred meal with their God. So did followers of Adonis, Attis, Osiris, and other Pagan Gods of the Mystery Religions. New members of the Mysteries of Isis and Osiris completed their initiation with a sacramental meal. Originally, the ceremony was a Jewish feast called the Passover, or the Feast of Unleavened Bread. It was a time of celebration and remembrance of what God did for the Hebrews when He brought them out of bondage to Egypt during the time of the Exodus. (Exodus 11 and 12) After Jesus came, He told His disciples to continue to celebrate the feast, but to do so in remembrance of HIM - His death, burial and resurrection. (Matthew 26:26-28, and 1 Corinthians 11:23-26) The unleavened bread is to SYMBOLIZE (not become, which is a pagan tradition) Christ's body, broken for you, and the wine, or grape juice, is to SYMBOLIZE Christ's blood, which was shed for you. In Gentile (non-Jew) churches today, this "ceremony" is called by several names: Communion, the Lord's Supper, and the Lord's Table.
