How many times is Easter in the bible?

Easter isn't mentioned in the bible. Unless you have another bible,, and Easter wasn't something celebrated until way later. ----- Acts 12:4 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. ----- The two answers above are in a way correct because in the original manuscripts the word Easter is NOT in the bible, however in modern bibles the word Easter IS found in the bible. The word "Easter" is found in one place in modern bibles (in the above reference given in Acts 12:4), however, the word "Easter" does not give the reader of today an accurate understanding of what is meant when using the word "Easter". To find what is meant by the word "Easter" you have to look at the actual word that was used in the language of the original writing. The word used here in the original text is "Pascha", not "Easter". The word "Pascha" is referring to the Hebrew word "פכח"/"Pasach", the English equivalent of this word is "Passover". The word Passover gives us, the modern day reader, a clearer understanding of what is being referred to in this passage. Using the word "Easter" does not help the modern reader, in fact, it encourages the reader to believe that the word Easter was originally in scripture, and it was NOT.

Is Easter egg a figure of speech?

Not really. A figure of speech is when language diverts from its normal use, and uses words in special ways to promote particular meaning. For example, "falling in love" is a figure of speech, but it does not involve any falling of any sort. So, "Easter egg" isn't really a figure of speech. Chocolate is shaped to form eggs. Or real eggs are blown out, then dyed or decorated. They are eggs specifically for Easter, and the terminology relates directly to both Easter and eggs.
