In the Greek manuscripts is Pasha (not Easter). Easter being the name of a pagan sex fertility spring goddess. In Babylonia this spring goddess is identified with the Planet Venus. In more recent times the Anglo-Saxons brought "Ishtar" into God's sanctuary.
God does not like this in His sanctuary (Exodus 23:13, Deut. 12:3, 32).
The Apostle Paul used the Passover as an object lesson to the Corinthians (I Cor. 5:7-8), in order to teach them how to follow Christ and purge sin from their lives. Early Romanism in amalgamation with the very ancient spring festival to the fertility goddess instead of the true Passover. The day was fixed on a Sunday immediately following the 14th day of the Pascal moon. This holiday "worshipped" the queen of heaven or the sun god at sunrise.
Passover was only replaced by Easter in pagan churches pretending to be Christian. Jesus has some very harsh warnings about any adoption of pagan practices being used to worship the true God.
"If ye love Me, keep My commandments" (John 8:55).
"If ye keep My commandments ye shall abide in My love ; even as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love" (John 15:10).
Jesus was the Passover Lamb (John 1:29).
In conclusion I want to emphasize how important is to do your research and find out for yourself what God has to say in this matter, not men. People make mistakes all the time. God never does.
GOD BLESS
