The church has not "always" celebrated Easter. There is no mention of it's celebration in scripture. It was not an official part of church doctrine until 300 years AFTER the death of Christ.

Scripture is a start to finish testament to the ressurection. Not celebrating it is a stones throw from denying it all together.

Well you're obviously accusing everyone in the new testament from being a stones throw from denying it because nobody invented a day to observe it. There's no doubt that they recognized it, but they also recognized that his atoning death at PASSOVER was the most important aspect and was the scriptural thing to be observed.
