Ostara/Easter is one of those interesting Pagan/Christian fusion holidays. Like Jul, it used to be pegged to a position in the wheel of the year: Spring Equinox.

When Ostara got syncretized into xtianity, suddenly Catholic theologians needed the feast to be pegged to Passover so that the story of the holy week works out.
