The Word Easter (A Christian Etymology and Origin) Pastor John Young

Easter in Acts 12:4 is the only mention of this word in our King James Bible. While the context and historical Christian tradition clearly shows this word to be reference to the celebration of Christ's resurrection on the Sunday Morning just after the Passover week, many have attempted to paganize or confuse this reference for various reasons. In this lesson we strongly refute those errant ideas and show the clear Christian etymology and origin of the word and why we still gladly use this wonderful English word to refer to the resurrection morning of Christ.

(At about 5 min mark I say "David Gibbs" but meant Brother Sam Gipp and was referencing the pagan myth he believes and promotes in "The Answer Book: A Helpful Book for Christians".)
