Would Paul have "adapted" any of these things to a commemoration of the Resurrection?

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing,... 2 Corinthians 6:17

"Easter was originally a celebration of Eostre, goddess of Spring, otherwise known as Ostara, Austra, and Eastre. One of the most
revered aspects of
Ostara for both ancient and modern observers is a spirit of renewal.
Celebrated at Spring Equinox on March 21, Ostara marks the day when light is equal to darkness and will continue to grow. 
As the bringer of light after a long dark winter, the goddess was often depicted with the hare, an animal that represents the arrival of spring as well as the fertility of the season. 
According to Jacob Grimm’s Deutsche Mythologie,... “Ostara, Eástre seems therefore to have been the divinity of the radiant dawn, of upspringing light, a spectacle that brings joy and blessing, whose meaning could be easily adapted by the resurrection-day of the christian’s God.”
