Yes. The Easter is mentioned in many places, and it's origin is found in Eodus chap. 11-13. The lamb offered for the people of Israel, is a paralell to Jesus, our Lamb. | ||||||

Thank you for your answer. I would just like to point out one thing. First, the absence of a word from the text of the Bible does not necessarily mean that the concept is not in the Bible. Having said that, please note that I have done some research myself on the term Easter. The word does not appear at all in the New King James Version, the New American Standard Bible or the Revised Standard Version. Of the four versions in which I looked up Easter, the word occurs only in the King James Version and then only once -- in Acts 12:4. Upon further research I found that the word translated Easter in the KJV is the Greek word that literally means "the Passover." So, in fact, the word Easter is not mentioned in many places in the Bible. It's mentioned only once in only one translation that I've seen so far. And even there it is the word that literally means "the Passover." But I do thank you for your interest and your reply. | ||||||
