The KJV reads Easter in place of Passover. This was derived from a false rendering of the Greek word pascha, which is of Aramaic origin, referring to the OT Passover (see Ex. 12). According to the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, The English word Easter comes from the Anglo-Saxon Eastre or Estera, a Teutonic goddess to whom sacrifice was offered in April. The Dakes Annotated Reference continues: Easter, Christmas, Lady Day, Lent, and other Babylonian festivals were all borrowed from this religion and were all observed centuries before (Messiah). None of them have any relationship to (Messiah) or Christianity. - restorationstudybible, note on Acts 12:4
