The name Easter itself has been linked to Eostre, or Ostara, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn and of spring.
Eggs “have been prominent as symbols of new life and resurrection,” says the Encyclopædia Britannica, while the hare and the rabbit have long served as symbols of fertility.
Easter, therefore, is really a fertility rite thinly disguised as a celebration of Christ’s resurrection.*
14 Would Jehovah condone the use of a filthy fertility rite to commemorate his Son’s resurrection? Never! (2 Corinthians 6:17, 18)
In fact, the Scriptures neither command nor authorize the commemorating of Jesus’ resurrection in the first place. To do so in the name of Easter, therefore, is to be doubly disloyal.
Update:No
the Scriptures neither command nor authorize the commemorating of Jesus’ resurrection or Birth

Of course not!
Easter reminds me of the time when Moses went up to Jehovah to receive the law, and in the meantime the people became impatient and asked Aaron to make a god to go ahead of them. Aaron does this, forming a golden calf, which the people worship in what he calls “a festival to Jehovah.” (32:5)
Promoted as a celebration of Christ’s resurrection, Easter is actually rooted in false religion.
“the God of truth”.—Psalm 31:5. How than can he approve of a holiday that is associated with bunnies laying multi-colored eggs...this is ridiculus...., and what does this has to do with Jesus? ...it's totally pagan
EXCUSE YOU!? There is nothing filthy about it! It is a celebration of life and fertility, and I'll thank you to drop the medieval mentality of those who committed mass slaughter in the name of a God of Love.
