The Date for Easter

I agree with the implied negative of your question. As far as I know, there is no scriptural instruction to celebrate the Incarnation on one particular day of the year. Jesus calls His followers to remember His death, but does not specify a particular day of the week/month/year. Christians in the New Testament met on the first day of the week, because that was the day He rose, but there is no biblical record of them have set a aside one particular day each year to remember or celebrate the Resurrection.

Having said all that, the fact that Easter and Christmas are special times in the secular calendar can be used in a way similar to that in which Paul used the altar "To the Unknown God" in outreach at Mars Hill.

That may be the only evangelical sermon we have of Paul and he may not have had an alter call after this one. This and the one to king Agrippa.
