" I must respectfully disagree. The ole' King Jimmy has it right here. According to Acts 12:3, "(Then were the days of unleavened bread.)"
"Cross reference that with Lev 23:5-6 "In the fourteenth [day] of the first month at even [is] the LORD'S passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month [is] the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread."
"Of all the things that it COULD be, it COULD NOT be Passover it it were the days of unleavened bread. Herod was a pagan puppet king of the pagan Roman empire and would be expected to celebrate pagan holidays. The KJV translators NEVER claimed to be doing a translation of the Textus Receptus. They claimed to be taking the former translationS and dilligently comparing and revising them. They found EASTER in Martin Luthers' German Bible.
"P.S. Thank you for pointing out the pagan foolishness that is practiced in churches all over America...."eggs, Ostara, Ishtar, rabbits, Innana, cults, pagans, devils, or Satan."
