The Jewish passover was the celebration of God saving the Jews from Slavery.

Jesus was crucified to save those that believe from slavery to sin.

The final meal celebrated by Christ and the apostles was the passover meal..

So Easter and passover usually fall at about the same time of the calendar

Given that there is no Biblical reference to Easter in conjunction with the resurrection of Jesus, or any where else in the Bible, it, to me, is obvious it is connected to the celebration honoring the goddess Estarte, which was pronounced Easter. God cautioned strongly to not celebrate the days of the pagans. I choose to stay as far away from even appearing to go against God’s word in that regard.
