More and more Christian families are eliminating 'easter' from their religious activities because 'easter' was "assigned" as a religious event by one denomination to patronize pagans early on and is a tradtion of man, not of God. Only once does the word 'easter' appear in the King James Version Bible and it is a faulty translation. It originated from the word 'pasha' or Hebrew for Passover and the King James Version translators erred in it's usage.
Many Christians are becoming aware of the pagan origin of 'easter' and are staying away from that denominationally compromised and traditionalized 'celebration'. They are instead celebrating CHRISTIAN Passover.
