Easter is set by the first full moon after the vernal equinox. This is the one day in the year when day and night are roughly equal!
It varies by more than a month over the years and so it simply cannot represent the date of anyone's death!!!
It is in fact a combination of several pagan festivals most notably the spring festival.
The name Easter comes from “Eastre” an Anglo-Saxon pagan goddess. Also the Norse goddess,Ostara who took her name from the Teutonic lunar goddess Eostre
Even the Chinese have the festival of Ching Ming where flowers and sweets are put on their ancestors graves!!
The egg and the rabbit are symbols of springtime and rebirth along with the custom of giving flowers etc!!
The Venerable Bede, an early Christian writer pointed out that the Christian church absorbed Pagan practices when it found the population unwilling to give up the festivals. Thus a lot of what Christians now see as Christians practices are in fact pagan!!!
The Pope said last year that Easter should now have a set date to make it Chrsitian!
Fun to watch the Christians worshiping a pagan festival though - makes it just like Christmas when they do the same thing!!!

To honor the Goddess Eostre, I like Halloween and the 4th better.

It's a grave error by whoever put it in the English Bible, and is used only by English-speakers.
In other countries the term is a form of the Aramaic word for Passover, Jesus being our Passover:
Afrikaans: Paasfees
Albanian: Pashkët
Breton: Pask Seder
Catalan: Pasqua
Chamorro: Pasgua
Cornish: Pask
Danish: Påske or Paaske
Dutch: Pasen or Paschen
Esperanto: Paskon
Finnish: Pääsiäistä
French: Pâques
Galician: Pascuas
Greek: Pascha
Icelandic: Páska
Indonesian: Paskah
Italian: Pasqua
Jèrriais: Pâques
Latin: Pascha
Norwegian: Påske
Portuguese: Páscoa
Scottish: Pask
Sicilian: Pasqua
Spanish: Pascuas
Swahili: Pasaka
Swedish: Påsk
Welsh: Pasg
The Eastern Orthodox Christian position is that Pascha is the most important day of the year. Everyone gets born; only Christ resurrected. So that's my favorite holiday/holy day.

The word “Easter” first appeared in Christianity in the King James Version of the bible in Acts 12:4 as a translation for Passover. Since the King James Bible was widely disseminated in English speaking countries, the day became known as "Easter" but only in English speaking countries.. If you look in almost every other country the day is still called Passover. For example if you go to Mexico they celebrate Pasqua, the day Jesus rose from the dead. They do not call it Easter. So the term Easter can be traced back to a mistranslation in the KJV protestant bible. Whatever it is called, it is the meaning of the day that counts (Whether Passover or Easter).

The word Easter has absolute zero to do with resurrection of Jesus Christ the word Easter is derived from the following estrus! Meaning the time when animals are in heat! It's another pagan holiday that was mixed by the Greeks and the Romans with the Resurrection Day of Jesus Christ to make a holiday that made everybody happy my personal opinion you don't mix the time that animals are in heat with the celebration of Jesus Christ Resurrection it just doesn't show respect to God

The holiday's English name comes from the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre. It's not my favorite holiday (Halloween is), but spring is my favorite season, so I'm always happy when Easter comes.

For some reason, the King James Version put the word Easter in place of the Passover. Perhaps it was already in use in 1611. However, it is just a word as no one worships a false god, but Jesus' resurrection. However, we are to do the same each and every Sunday, this one is no different.

Denise, according to various sources, the name Easter has its origin with a goddess of the Anglo-Saxons named Eostre. In The Two Babylons, Alexander Hislop claimed Eostre is actually a name derived from the Babylonian goddess Astarte. Hislop extended this connection to include goddesses from around the world: Ishtar, Ashtoreth, Venus, and others.
By this method, one could take virtually ANYTHING and do the same—even the “golden arches” at McDonald’s! The Encyclopedia Americana (article: “Arch") says the use of arches was known in Babylon as early as 2020 B.C. Since Babylon was called “the golden city” (Isa. 14:4), can there be any doubt about the origin of the golden arches? As silly as this is, this is the type of proof that has been offered over and over about the pagan origins of Easter.

A person can know many truths by reciting daily and with care the angelic psalter of the Virgin Mary.

The Encyclopedia Britannica says: “The English name Easter is of uncertain origin; the Anglo-Saxon priest Venerable Bede in the 8th century derived it from the Anglo-Saxon spring goddess Eostre.” Others link it to Astarte, the Phoenician fertility goddess who had the Babylonian counterpart Ishtar.
Jesus commanded his true followers to commemorate his death, not his resurrection. "Luke 21:19, "keep doing this in remembrance of me."
