Another Answer:
It was on a Wednesday in the year 31 AD. Taking all the 'clues' into account that the Gospels offer, and understanding how Jews then and now count days and their Festivals and High Holy Days, we can plot out a timeline that fits with the only sign Jesus gave men of His Messiahship - 3 full days like Jonah.
First, days were/are counted from one sunset to another, just like the account in Genesis 1. Next, this was the Passover season - Nisan 14 - which was a Feast Day commemorating the 'passing over' of the angel of death in Egyptian captivity with Moses. The very next day - Nisan 15 - begins the High (Annual) Holy Days of the 'Feast of Unleavened Bread' which begins with a Sabbath and has the 1st Sunday after the 1st Sabbath as a 'Wave Sheath' offering (small representative bunch of early Spring Barley offered to God for His acceptance).
Now the Gospels tell us that Jesus and His disciples ate the Passover meal (night portion of the Passover) beginning at sunset. The meal typically takes 3 hours and ends in a hymn. Jesus then goes to pray anticipating His cruel death shortly coming. He is taken captive after Judas betrays Him and goes back and forth between the Jewish and Roman authorities. At noon during the Passover day - a Wednesday in 31 AD, He is crucified. He dies at 3:00 PM and His followers seek and are given permission to remove the body and quickly prepare it for burial before the upcoming Sabbath - 1st day of Unleavened Bread to begin at sunset. He is buried just before the sunset of Wednesday.
Recapping: Passover meal aka 'The Last Supper' began at Wednesday evening, 25 April 31 AD at the start of the Passover. He is tried and crucified on Wednesday, Passover day, 25 April 31 AD and is buried shortly before the next day began at sunset - a High Sabbath.
In The Bible the date is not mentioned at all.
More information:
The "Last Supper" took place on the same night as Passover, immediately following the Passover meal. The first Passover was established on the evening before the Exodus from Egypt, about the time of full moon, on the 14th day of Abib (later called Nisan) in the year 1513 B.C.E., (Leviticus 23:5)and continued to be celebrated on the same evening every year from then on, at the start of the Festival of Unfermented Cakes, Nisan 15-21.(Exodus 12:17-20) corresponding to our early April.
The Jewish calendar ran from evening to evening, so after Nisan 13 ended at sundown, Nisan 14 began, and the Passover was celebrated, followed by the "Last Supper" and Jesus death as the 'passover lamb' (1Corinthians 5:7) (Mark 14:17-18, 22-26)
According to Oppolzer's Canon of Eclipses, (translated by O. Gingerich, 1962, p. 344) there was an eclipse of the full moon on Friday, April 1,33CE(Gregorian calendar). This evidence strongly indicates to many, that Nisan 14, 33 C.E., and so the "Last Supper", fell on Thursday-Friday, March 31-April 1, 33 C.E. and Jesus' death took place on Friday, Nisan 14, by about 3:00 p.m.-(Luke 23:44-46).
Thursday, people celebrate Good Friday as the day He died, but He actually had to have been crucified on Thursday, for Him to rise the on the third day, Sunday.
Sunday is considered the first day of the week.

The Last Supper was on Thursday. According to John 19:31-33 (NIV) Jesus was crucified on Friday.
Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
The Jewish Sabbath is on Saturday. So if the next day was to be a Sabbath (Saturday) then Jesus was crucified on a Friday.
Maundy Thursday is the day of the Last Supper. It is the Thursday before Easter. Maunday is translated from the Latin, mandatum, meaning mandate or command. The command is found in the Gospel of John Chapter 13 verse 34, " A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another". It is also believed the Eucharist, or Holy Communion was instituted on this day. This is found in The Gospel of Mark 14:22-25.

The "Last Supper" took place on the occasion of the Jewish Passover meal.

The theme is the last meal, the Passover meal, that Jesus shared with his disciples before being arrested.
The Twelve Disciples attended the Passover meal with Jesus. Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholemew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus, Simon. Judas left after that earlier meal of that same day, so only 11 Disciples ate that last meal with Jesus. John 13:21-30 indicates that Judas departed before Jesus instituted the celebration of the Lord's Evening Meal.
The last meal Jesus spent with his Apostles is called the Last Supper, consisting of only bread and wine. Jesus said a blessing, saying that the bread was the bread of life, and the wine was Jesus' blood. If you go to a Catholic mass, there will be something called a communion, where you take the blessed bread and wine and drink it.
Judas Icariot. He wa present during the Last Supper, but was not present when Jesus gave his final dissertation to the remaining disciples after the meal.
This is actually a fascinating question. It's hard to say exactly what Jesus may have eaten, but if you look at the typical diet in the 1st century, you can get a pretty good idea. Breakfast would have been a light meal perhaps of bread and cheese.
