The Greek word "pascha " is translated Easter here because it is the only place in the Bible where "pascha " appears in a post-Resurrection context. The Early Church did celebrate Easter but they called it "Pascha " instead. The Greek Orthodox Church still continues this practice today by celebrating Pascha instead of Easter.
