Which part of the Bible talks about Easter?

Answer 1

All four gospels cover the Easter story. Matthew's Gospel is for a Jewish audience, and thus explains it in relation to Jewish teaching and His fulfillment of ancient prophecy, Mark's Gospel is for a Roman-influenced audience and is far more factual and unemotional. Luke's Gospel is for a Greek-influenced audience and therefore is more artistic and emotional than the others; John's Gospel is written by one of the twelve, and is aimed at a worldwide audience - non-Jews, obviosly.

Answer 2

Easter is never directly mentioned or celebrated in The Bible. The Holiday is originally to celebrate the pagan god Ishtar, the god of fertility.

However the bible does mention prophecies of Jesus death and Resurrection.

Answer 3

Actually, the Bible says nothing about Easter. The Encyclopædia Britannica (11th Edition) states: "There is no indication of the observance of the Easter festival in the New Testament" and The Westminster Dictionary of the Bible says Easter was "originally the spring festival in honor of the Teutonic goddess of light and spring known in Anglo-Saxon as Eastre," or Eostre." She was a fertility goddess (Romans 5:8)(2 Corinthians 6:14-16). Because Easter was not an early Christian observance, it is not mentioned in the Bible. Jesus never commanded his followers to commemorate his birth or his resurrection, but ONLY his death. (Luke 22:19, 20)(1 Corinthians 11:20-26). This pagan history explains the so called "Easter customs", such as Easter eggs, the Easter rabbit (which were fertility symbols) and hot cross buns. The book 'Easter and Its Customs' states: "The cross was a pagan symbol .... and bread and cakes were sometimes marked with it in pre-Christian times."

More information:The word "Easter" appears once in the King James translation, but it is a glaring error:

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. (KJV)

The original Greek word translated "Easter" is pascha, or "passover." The New King James (and other subsequent translations) correct this error:

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. [NKJV]

Aside from that one (mistaken) appearance of the word in the KJV, the Bible makes no mention of Easter, or any annual observance of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection.

Answer 4

"Easter" isn't talked about. Jesus' death and resurection were talked about a lot though, which is what Easter is about. Almost, if not all, of the books in the New Testament talk about Jesus and his sacrifice.

Another answer:The word "Easter" comes from the Old English eastre, which derived from Eostre, a Germanic goddess of fertility and sunrise. It appears once in the 1611 King James version (Acts 12:4), but it is a blatant mistranslation of the original Greek word pascha, which is correctly translated "passover."

If not for this mistranslation, there would be no mention of Easter in the Bible whatsoever, just as there is no scriptural support for a "special" annual celebration or memorial of Jesus' resurrection. The observance of Easter is 100% man-made tradition, with a healthy dose of pagan fertility goddess worship thrown in (thus the eggs and bunnies).

Answer 5

Easter is the weekend that Jesus died and was resurrected, so it would be at that point in the bible.

Answer 6

There is no written record of God ever mentioning the holiday of Easter.

Answer 7

The Easter holiday is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible.

Answer 8

Neither holiday is mentioned by name in the Bible, but the Bible is the basis for both holidays.

Answer 9

Nothing. Easter is a pagan holiday that was adapted by early Christians after the Bible was written.
