Much of the information in this video is correct, but it is obvious it is attempting to point to Easter as a pagan holiday. I will give my responses to this though:

This can be very well compared to Santa Clause in his involvement in Christmas. The holiday itself is still celebrating the ressurection of Jesus Christ. Even if it weren't originally (which it was originally made to do celebrate the ressurection), we still use that date to celebrate it. The art in which we celebrate it is not sinful. Overtime the meaning of "Easter" has changed and was popularized to be used for the Christian holiday in the King James Version. We are commanded to take communion, but there is not specific regulation when to do it.

While having Easter Egss and the easter bunny is irrelevant to the point of Easter (as it Santa Clause in a way), partaking in activities involving it would not be worship. True worship involves an actual sincere reverance and understanding for the deity that is being worshipped. When people use easter eggs they are not in anyway acknowledging it to the goddess Easter. Most people are not even aware of the non-christian origins of Easter. Some actually do eggs in an act of worship towards God, but it is not specific in the Bible about certain activites to do when celebrating the ressurection (communion doesn't say when it rather says or suggests you do).

I personally think Easter Eggs and the Easter Bunny are irrelevant to the point of Easter but are in no way meant to be defamatory to God, other than distracting people from the point.
