The Passover remembers the time when the Jews were being feed from slavery in Egypt. As a final miracle to convince Pharaoh to let them go, God sent the angel of death to strike down the first-born in all Egypt's families. To indicate that the angel should "pass over" the house of a Jewish family, the family was to slaughter a lamb and sprinkle the lintels of their doorway with its blood.
Jesus was proclaimed by John as "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world". One of the connections to Passover is that Jesus was killed for us so that our sins are forgiven and we will live forever with God. In this sense Jesus acts as the Passover sacrificial lamb for us.
In addition, there was a more practical connection in that Jesus came to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover and the Last Supper with his disciples was the Passover meal.

In John's Gospel, Jesus was arrested and crucified on the day before the Passover, as we see in John 19:14.

What is the comparison of Christianity and Jewish?
The main difference between the Christianity and Judaism is the stance on who is Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach in the original Hebrew). Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah foretold by the Jewish prophets and became the "Passover Lamb of God", whose sacrifice covers sins. Judaism believes that Jesus was a great teacher but not the Messiah. He taught good morals but shouldn't be accepted as the one foretold in the Bible. However, that's not to say Christianity isn't Jewish. Jesus is Jewish and all of the original followers were Jewish. Originally, "Christianity" came from Judaism. It resembled Judaism in style of worship, fellowship and communion (which was the Passover Seder) more back then but the beliefs were the same.
