I just saw recently few days ago explanation in a understandable meme format about Christmas, but sadly I didn't save it ; /

Easter as you call it (in Poland we call it a ,,Big night'') is a movable holiday (because crucificion happened after jewish holiday which is also movable because of moon's phases). What pagan holiday did we usurp with it ? o.o

Celebrating pagan holidays implies that the purpose of that holiday is being used to honor a pagan god or done with a pagan intention behind it. The supposed pagan elements are still used in favor of a Christian purpose and the Christian. God.
