Mythical goddess 'EOSTRE' (also known as Ostara or Ishtar), a goddess of the dawn and spring.
　
The word " Easter" is found one time in the entire authorized King James Bible:
　
"Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.) And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people." (Acts 12:1-4)
To give credence to what has already been said, we find inserted in The King James translation of The Holy Bible (Acts Chapter 12 and verse 4), the term 'EASTER', which in reality should properly say 'PASSOVER'.
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25)
　
The CATHOLIC CATECHISM says-
Para 1357
Bread and wine which, by the power of the Holy Spirit and by the words of Christ, have become the body and blood of Christ.
Christ is thus really and mysteriously made present.
The BIBLE says-
Hebrews 10: 10-14
we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE for all.
And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever-
SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD...
CATECHISM-
Para 1376
That by the consecration of the bread and wine there takes place a change of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of his blood.
This change the holy Catholic Church has fittingly and properly called transubstantiation.
BIBLE-
Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
CATECHISM-
Para 1380
It is highly fitting that Christ should have wanted to remain present to his Church in this unique way.
Since Christ was about to take his departure from his own in his visible form, he wanted to give us his sacramental presence
BIBLE-
John 14:16-18
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter (the Holy Spirit), that he may abide with you for ever Even the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him- for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
According to the Bible Jesus was offered up on the cross for the sins of His people.
After His death and resurrection, He was taken up into the clouds and is perpetually seated at the right hand of God the Father.
Before His departure from this world, Jesus had many conversations in which He foretold the manner of His return.
The Bible is clear that Jesus Christ will return in the same manner that He was taken up and that it will be just as obvious.
Matthew 24:27 states, "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
To put it in more simplistic terms, Jesus said that He would come back in bodily form just as when He departed, He in no way every mentions in His Word, that He would return in the from of a piece of bread.
Before He left, Jesus promised His followers to send the Holy Spirit to comfort and guide them, so they would not be as orphans.
God has given us a spiritual presence of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit.
CATECHISM-
Para 1364
AS OFTEN AS the sacrifice of the Cross by which 'Christ our Pasch has been sacrificed' is celebrated on the altar, the work of our redemption is carried out."
BIBLE-
John 19:30
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost..
CATECHISM-
Para 1366
The Eucharist is thus a sacrifice because it re-presents (makes present) the sacrifice of the cross
BIBLE-
Hebrews 10-18: By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE for all.
CATECHISM-
Para 1367
In this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a BLOODY manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an UNBLODDY manner."
BIBLE-
Leviticus 17:11- For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood- and WITHOUT SHEDDING OF BLOOD IS NO REMISSION...

Every time this mystery is celebrated, "the work of our redemption is carried on"

The Creator of the universe lowered Himself like the created beings He made who were filled will flaws and sin, and who needed redemption. A journey was made filled with countless sufferings and an eventual death, on behalf of a humanity that neither asked for it nor could do it for themselves. The resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ was the supreme act of proving whom He is and what He can do for us (Acts 2:24; 17:31; 1 Corinthians 15:1-11,20; 54-57)! It was the raising to life of a man who was dead and buried, a man who was fully human and fully God (Acts 1:3). The fact that so many people saw Him after His resurrection and the impact of the fatal wounds He received was the proof text for many to come to faith and devote themselves to Christianity over the centuries (Luke 24:31; 36; Philippians 3:21; Hebrews 7:16-24). Christ paved the way for us to live in eternity and conquer the fatality of death (Acts 2:24-35; 1 Corinthians 15:50-54). The resurrection provided us not only with eternity and ultimate hope and meaning for life, but immediate relief from our sin, and the barriers to God. Through what Christ did, we are justified and can go directly to God without sacrificing the family pet or needing the mediation of a priest. We are able to have our prayers heard, our journey of life known, and be assured we have a God who truly loves us and cares for us beyond our comprehension. (John 11:25-26; Romans 4:25, 6; 1 Corinthians 15:17; Ephesians 1:18--2:10; Colossians 2:9-15; 3:1-4)!
