Hey Min, Get Ready To Have A Field Day

[Drich]

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.  

Actually Christ/Passover came first, and those 'aptly named parties.' were german and english in origin, who worship of the sun god came much later. in all other cultures/non german speaking and or non english speaking the word for easter is dervied from Greek and Latin Pascha or Pasch, for Passover.

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.

Despite what you may think the orgins are for passover we have 5th and 6th century manuscripts that show Jesus was catured and crusified on passover, which again is the reason why Christian's celebrate 'easter' now. 

That said you are right in the the english church did adopt the word easter and assimilated SOME of the pagan-ness from them, but remember this adaptation was an adaptation of what the christians were already doing.
