Easter (Astarte) is of pagan orgins.
Christ became our Passover when he when he was crucified and defeated
death with his resurrection ! All the blood sacrifices of the Old Testament where stopped. It was the blood of the lamb that saved the Hebrews in the exodus and it was the Blood of the Lamb on the cross that open the door to all of Gods children to eternal life. With that said it is not the eggs or bunnies or sun worship for little children that is wrong it is placing these things in our houses of worship in the place of Christ that is such a abomination to our Lord. EASTER pascha NT:3957 mistranslated "Easter" in Acts 12:4 , KJV, denotes the Passover (RV). The phrase "after the Passover" signifies after the whole festival was at an end. The term "Easter" is not of Christian origin. It is another form of Astarte, one of the titles of the Chaldean goddess, the queen of heaven. The festival of Pasch held by Christians in post- apostolic times was a continuation of the Jewish feast, but was not instituted by Christ, nor was it connected with Lent. From this Pasch the pagan festival of "Easter" was quite distinct and was introduced into the apostate Western religion, as part of the attempt to adapt pagan festivals to Christianity. See PASSOVER. (from Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words ) now read what God had to say about the queen of heaven and those whom worship the queen of heaven in Gods house of worship.
