Is the "Easter" referred in Acts 12:4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. (only time mentioned in the whole Bible) is the Easter, we Christians celebrate today and what is the meaning of Easter? Thank you
The meaning of Easter is a wondrous time,of candy,and eggs,and the fertility god,and the fuzzy cute bunny rabbit,and stores heaping big profits from this delightful time of year,and eating until you cannot eat anymore,and drinking alcohol to make merry the soul,until arguing pursues,and fighting breaks out.
That is if you are of the world.
pascha
pas'-khah
Of Chaldee origin (compare [H6453]); the Passover (the meal, the day, the festival or the special sacrifices connected with it): - Easter, Passover.
pesach
peh'-sakh
From H6452; a pretermission, that is, exemption; used only technically of the Jewish Passover (the festival or the victim): - passover (offering).
Christians celebrate in a different way,by celebrating the resurrection of Christ,although some have been known to keep some of those ways of the world about them.
