Answer:
Worship of the godess of sex and fertility. "Christian" meanings were added in much later by church leaders and polatitians in an effort to unite their population. It is still and always has been the day set aside to worship the godess of sex and fertility. Even the name Easter comes from her.

It's a pagan celebration, named after the goddess Eostre. I could find absolutely nothing that would indicate where it was first celebrated.

We know that it cannot be the day of the resurrection of Jesus because Easter is never on the same date. Easter always comes the first Sunday after the equinox. Long before Christianity, Bayblon had a goddess name "Ishtar," the goddess of reproduction. In the spring she was honored as the giver of all new life. Eggs, a symbol of fertility, were worshipped, and rabbits, prolific reproducers, were also worshipped. That's where we get Easter rabbits and Easter eggs. Ishtar's day was always celebrated the first Sunday, after the equinox. As we progress through history, we come to Rome around 300 A.D. Constantine, the ruler, claimed he had become a Christian. He simply took Ishtar's day and transferred it to honor Jesus Christ the giver of life, on Easter. Papal Rome continued this, and spread it to all the world.
