Is 'Easter' in the bible?

The term Easter is found in Acts 12:4
But only in very few English translations of the Bible. (4 out more than 40)
Mace New Testament
having apprehended Peter, he put him into prison, appointing a detachment of sixteen soldiers to guard him, intending to have him brought to publick execution, after Easter.
Bishops' Bible of 1568
And when he had caught hym, he put hym in pryson also, and delyuered hym to foure quaternions of souldiers to be kept, intendyng after Easter to bryng hym foorth to the people.
Coverdale Bible of 1535
Now whan he had taken him, he put him in preson, and delyuered him vnto foure quaternions of soudyers, to kepe him: and thought after Easter to bringe him forth to the people.
Tyndale Bible of 1526
And when he had caught him he put him in preson and delyvered him to .iiii. quaternios of soudiers to be kepte entendynge after ester to brynge him forth to the people.
King James Bible(Classic translation)
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.

All other English translations use the orinal term Passover, and a few (2) use pascha or pasch from the Greek "πάσχα" (pascha).
New King James Version
So when he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover.

Catholic Translations:
Douay-Rheims Bible
And when he had apprehended him, he cast him into prison, delivering him to four files of soldiers to be kept, intending, after the pasch, to bring him forth to the people.
Catholic Public Domain Version
So when he had apprehended him, he sent him into prison, handing him over into the custody of four groups of four soldiers, intending to produce him to the people after the Passover.

New Testament was mostly translated from the Greek. Passover in Greek is: "πάσχα" (pascha). In French it is called Pâques (very close to the Greek).

Easter was to celebrate Jesus Christ's Resurrection, but the traditions have made something else. That's why, even though a Christian, I observe the Feasts of the Lord of Leviticus 23. That does not stop me from worshiping Christ Jesus, the Son of God, the Alpha and the Omega, who was even before the Creation of the Heavens and the Earth. My prayers are mostly and usually for him, or in His name.
I tend to sign the cross after a prayer, saying: in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Of the 'Christian' holidays, I do not celebrate:
Christmas, because it's the wrong date and the traditions are Pagan. Christmas trees in the Bible Jeremiah 10
Easter, because of the terminology too close to the term Ishtar (goddess of love; fertility and war), and the Pagan traditions. One can assume that the bunnies and the eggs, are symbols of fertility.
It makes it a Pagan ritual.
