Reserection is tied to passover, which in turn is tied to the spring equinox. Bunnies and many of the other things done then have pagan roots, but the date has a real meaning anyway.
it uses the Hebrew calendar which is completely different from modern systems. It is always exactly the same day every year. That catholics and orthodox’s sometimes use different days is historically correct useage of the hebrew calendar. First full moon after the spring equalnox is an easy simplifiication (and likely what the ancients were trying for eesbite not having modern astronomy) - but it isn’t correct.

They could have chosen any day but choose dates which the pagens had celebrations. And funny how the resurrection moves every year.
