The Christian celebration of the Resurrection during the springtime is due to the association with Passover and not because of an association with prior celebrations.

Of course, the use of the term "Easter" in the West does have its roots with traditional celebrations of spring.

Yeah, but then ask yourself how Passover got to be celebrated when it is.
