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.

A Better Understanding of This Generation in Matthew 24:34

In this video, Peter is joined by Dr. Ryan Meyer from Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary, author of “This Generation in Matthew 24:34 and The New Exodus” (2025). How should we understand the phrase, “this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”? Dr. Meyer walks us through the important backdrop of the word “generation” (γενεά), and how Matthew appeals to the Old Testament context. Enjoy this fascinating conversation!

We use the word ‘this‘ to point out a person or object which is close to you. On the other hand, ‘that‘ is used to point out a person or an object which is farther from you.
The Greek is ambiguous for those pronouns.

Matthew 24

Jesus answered two Questions.
1 Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”
The temple was destroyed in 70 AD. It's destruction is a confirmation of his prophecy.
3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
The Essenes call our age the age of Grace.

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.
5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Everything described has happenned and is still hapening today even the prospect of 3rd World war that may go nuclear. If not nuclear, the weapons of today are so much more destructive.
Verses 9-14 Persecution of Christians (this part has already occured but is not finished) and the Gospel preached in all the nations (One could say that the Gospel is preached more widely in our days, but not in all the nations)
...
21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
Now we get to a humanity extinction level. Something that never happened in history. And no, time is not shortened, but the days will be shortened to prevent mankind's extinction.
So what is the last sign before Jesus Christ appears? Fantastic events that never occured in the whole world at once (since Jesus is speaking to humanity):
...
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

The continuation of Matthew 24 is Revelation 20. Satan bound; Christ's Kingdom and rule on earth; Gog and Maggog or 'Satan's little season'; Judgement Day. (in that order)
