This has never happened in all my life. The first Easter (as well as the first Christmas) was celebrated in Rome, is based on astrology and has never had squat doodle to do with Jesus except as the SUN of god. But christians still act like they're trying to take back what has never been theirs.
Actually Easter is based off of the Passover celebration as Christ was captured and crucified during the Passover feast..
...sure it is.
It just couldn't possibly be an attempt to reappropriate and christ-wash the various pagan festivals the early catholic church was trying to poach market space from - and so aptly named after a goddess of those parties. Heavens no. For that matter, it's not as if passover itself could have been derived from an agrarian canaanite ritual..or any such distasteful thing.
