It is much more important to delight in keeping the holy days that God has commanded than to be concerned with whether a man-made tradition has a pagan origin.
Well, Easter, more commonly known as Pascha, like the other feasts of the Christian year (Christmas, Theophany, Candlemass, the Annunciation, the Ascension, Pentecost, the Transfiguration, the Elevation of the Holy Cross, Michaelmas, and several others) are instituted of God, and some of them like Pascha and Pentecost are continuations of Jewish feasts, some are replacements for Jewish feasts (for example, the Transfiguration replaces the Feast of Tabernacles), and some are new feasts resulting from the Body of Christ responding to the actions of the Incarnate Logos.
