Easter's Origins

Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words, in its entry "Easter," states:

Easter isn't a Christian or directly biblical term, but comes from a form of the name Astarte, a Chaldean (Babylonian) goddess known as "the queen of heaven."

She is mentioned by that title in the Bible in Jeremiah 7:18 and Jeremiah 44:17-19; Jeremiah 44:25 and referred to in 1 Kings 11:5; 1 Kings 5:33 and 2 Kings 23:13 by the Hebrew form of her name, Ashtoreth. 

So "Easter" is found in the Bible—as part of the pagan religion God condemns!
