Many terms commonly used to day are not in the Bible. I think Christian is among them.

Resurrection Sunday is the Evangelical Christian term for Easter. Since the neo-pagans have been taking back their holidays, and because the Christian celebration of Easter was started before the Protestant Reformation, they felt they had to call it something distinctive. Resurrection Sunday! No mistaking what that's about, although it does sound like another excuse to pass the collection plate.

Telephones and computers weren't in the Bible either. Not everything is in the Bible.

I think you know the pagan origin of Easter, but really it's symbolic of the renewal of life. We celebrate the same thing, just using different symbols.

Ester, the goddess of fertility: thus, eggs and (the very fertile) rabbits.
The early church, which usurped true Christianity, for the sake of extending power, compromised accurate worship by accepting false worship of the pagans. All they had to do was substitute their rituals with Christian names and practices. The result is the watered-down and polluted worship, powerless to create a clean, righteous people who obey God.

ok, its like this. The Holy Bible wasn't written in English. So it didn't say either. What difference does it make what it says, as long as everyone is talking about the same thing? Chill ...

It didn't happen anyway. Now you can get upset.
