The word “Easter” is a transliteration of the Greek word “Astarte”, or from the Mesopotamian word “Ishtar”.
This is another celebration of the Queen of heaven (also known as Ashtoreth, Semiramis, Isis, Ishtar, 139  Madonna, Mother of god 121).

"The celebration of Lent has no basis in Scripture, but rather developed from the pagan celebration of Semiramis's mourning for 40 days over the death of Tammuz (cf. Ezekiel 8:14) before his alleged resurrection---another of Satan's mythical counterfeits." (John MacArthur, Jr., The MacArthur New Testament Commentary: 1 Corinthians, Chicago: Moody, 1984) 140
