How did Easter originate within the Christian religion?

Christian Origins of Easter

In Christianity, Easter is a day to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Around the second century, Christian missionaries sought to convert Pagan tribes of northern Europe. In doing so, the Christians discovered that the Pagan festivities celebrating spring coincided with their observance of Christ's resurrection. The missionaries decided to incorporate the Pagan traditions into their own teachings surrounding Jesus Christ and Easter became a religious celebration from then on.
