Easter never “became” Passover — the two were never the same thing; the confusion comes from Acts 12:4 in the KJV, where “Easter” is used to translate the Greek word pascha, which always means Passover, never a pagan spring festival. The early English translators used “Easter” because in their world it was the common English word for the entire Passover‑season, but historically and biblically, pascha is the Jewish feast commemorating the Exodus, not rabbits, eggs, or spring fertility rites. The eggs and rabbit come from Germanic/Anglo‑Saxon fertility symbolism tied to spring — the hare was a symbol of rapid reproduction, and eggs symbolized new life; these were cultural additions, not biblical ones, and they entered Christian practice through medieval Europe, not through Scripture. None of this has anything to do with the biblical Passover, which is anchored in Exodus 12 and fulfilled in Christ (1 Cor 5:7). The world‑system move was simple: merge a biblical feast with local spring customs, then call the whole thing “Easter,” but the NT never uses that word, never commands the holiday, and never connects rabbits or eggs to the resurrection.
I am glad we can agree on this. Easter is just an archaic word for the weekly Passover celebration, also known as the days of unleavened bread. While most know that the Passover, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread are recognized as specific days (Nisan the 14th and Nisan the 15th), they are not aware that they can also refer to the whole weekly celebration, too (which includes Nisan the 14th and Nisan the 15th). The beginning of the eating of unleavened bread also started on the day of Passover, too. This is where many drop the ball and just do not read or believe what was said in Exodus 12.

The whole pagan Easter thing came later with the Germans. The Germans carried over their pagan rabbit tradition (that became the modern day bunny celebration) over here to the United States. They also did the same in Brazil, too.

Most of Christianity and Modern scholarship has conditioned people to believe this. So it's not surprising you hold to this view. Any supposed claims of errors in the KJV by the Bible correctors of our day I have explained many times. Generally my apologetics or explanations go ignored because they are caught in the web of deception in their post modernist approach to the Bible. Also, when I point out the horrible changes in Modern English Bibles and the Critical Text, they simply downplay them or ignore them, as well. Yes, I am aware that there are bible correctors even in the Majority Text camps, and even those who say the are KJV preferred.

Anyway, if there is no perfect word or standard we can have, then man becomes the ultimate authority and not God. The Bible actually prophecies about how there would be a book of the Lord in the end times.

Blah blah blah.......
Actually, I was "conditioned" to believe the nonsense that the KJV itself is perfect and inspired, and I was stuck on that for literally decades. Thankfully was able to emerge from that fog. Don't get me wrong, I believe the KJV is probably the most accurate and honest translation we have in English, but it has issues.

E.g., Do you hold to the view that all of the genealogies recorded in Genesis 11 of the KJV are "perfect" and that Shem outlived Abraham? All "modern" translations whose OTs have been derived from the Masoretic are missing 650 years from those genealogies, which totally distorts the reality of the Genesis narrative and is a potential stumbling block to non-believers, and that's by design.

Here's a good video on the subject. I doubt you'll watch it, because I know how stubborn KJV-onlyists can be since I used to be one, but whether you do or not, you should at least watch the final two minutes. Don't let the title of the video confuse you, because it's not the main premise of the video.
