IIRC you narrowed it down to a passage about chopping down pagan totem poles in either Joshua and/or Judges. When asked to be more specific, you forgot about the Bible and quoted Doctor Who dialogue instead. (Dialogue that didn’t mention the Bible, Easter or even totem poles!) So let’s try again. Please cite the book, chapter and verse from the Bible that you think explains the etymology of the word Easter. -- solar penguin
