and where did easter come from?

From passover, Exodus 12, changed in light of the Last Supper, Jesus' sacrifice on the cross & resurrection.

Realize the discussions and documents from the council of Nicea did not use the word "Easter", an unfortunately choice of words when translating the text into English.

The word in the original languages used at Nicea was "Paska"(πάσχα greek) or "Pascha"(latin)-- a transliteration of Aramaic form of Hebrew word for Passover.

Jesus spoke Aramaic and possibly a similar sounding word for passover.

I apologize for an earlier error falsely claiming that Nicea voted on the canon of the bible, they didn't.

.
Nonsense!

Yeshua spoke Hebrew only, and never went anywhere they spoke anything else. That was the language of Judea, Edom, and Samaria.

The Aramaic immigrants that moved into samaria were given unconditional orders to learn the language and customs of “the gods of the land” and they did so.

From passover, Exodus 12, changed in light of the Last Supper,

ok, then..

1. Who changed it?
2. why was it changed from passover?

3. who had the authority to change a feast that God said was forever?
