EASTER by definition of Encyclopedia Britannica : "The English word EASTER, which parallels the German word OSTERN, is of uncertain origin. One view, expounded by the Venerable Bede in the 8th century, was that it derived from EOSTRE, or EOSTRAE, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring and fertility".
In the Bible :
Act 12:3
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
Act 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.
Note :
King Herod was a pagan king. He did NOT celebrate PASSOVER and UNLEAVENED BREAD. But on his day, he was celebrating EASTER, the Roman feast in the Spring, a pagan feast.
