Pascha, not fascha (see post by travelguruette). It is the word used in most languages that are not English. It comes from Hebrew Pesach, which is the name of the Jewish holiday Passover, and indicates the motion of the Angel of Death in 'passing' or skipping over the homes marked with lamb's blood.

Easter, the Sunday of the Resurrection, Pascha, or Resurrection Day, is the most important religious feast of the Christian liturgical year, observed at some point between late March and late April each year (early April to early May in Eastern Christianity), following the cycle of the moon. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, which Christians believe occurred on the third day of his death by crucifixion some time in the period AD 27 to 33. Easter also refers to the season of the church year, called Eastertide or the Easter Season. Traditionally the Easter Season lasted for the forty days from Easter Day until Ascension Day but now officially lasts for the fifty days until Pentecost. The first week of the Easter Season is known as Easter Week or the Octave of Easter.

Today many families celebrate Easter in a completely secular way, as a non-religious holiday.

Never heard this term before Richard,but I can tell you that we Catholics do not have any holidays around the death of Jesus.
