Also i remember in Spanish class my teacher making a distinction between
pascua - passover, and pascua florida - easter.

In Tagalog, Easter is:

Muling Pagkabuhay - I'm not sure what this means. Pagkabuhay means
ressurection.  Oddly i've found a Bisayan site with more vocabulary than
all of the Tagalog sites I searched through.
Pasko ng Pagkabuhay - Christmas of Ressurrection (odd yes, but Christmas
in Tagalog is Pasko, from Pascua)
Linggo ng Pagkabuhay - Sunday of the Ressurection

One instance where a religious holiday has at least one term in the native
language and not in Spanish.
