Is Easter based on a pagan tradition?

[ebg]

Let's look at the word gay. It has two meanings.1 to be happy.2sexual orinatation. But in what context in todays world do we understand the word gay means? We know that christmas trees have pagan origen.But in the context of the world today the association is the birth of jesus. Hitler tried in nazi germany to regress the meaning of the christmas tree back to the understanding of pagan ritutal. He failed because nazism failed. Symbols and traditions don't define ideal...but its the idea that defines the contents of the symbol and traditions message.
