For theological reasons, John's Gospel places the crucifixion on the day of preparation for the Passover - the day before. Jesus did not celebrate the Passover.
Yes the Passover was established by Moses nearly 2000 years before Christ.
No.
Jesus died and rose from the grave
to celebrate why Jesus died for us.
During the week before his death, Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, overturned tables in the temple to drive out money changers, taught in the temple, had the Last Supper with his disciples, and prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane before he was arrested.
The day before Jesus died on the cross was the Jewish Passover and he celebrated the Seder, the passover evening meal that remembers the Jewish exodus from Egypt. This meal is still celebrated to this day and it is very reminiscent of the Catholic mass as bread and wine are passed around the table for all to share.
Passover. (Matthew 26, Mark 14, Luke 22, John 13)
jesus was on earth before he died.
If you believe as many do, that Jesus died on Passover, than Jesus died at the same time that the Passover Lamb was being killed in the temple. At 3:00 PM. So Jesus is our passover Lamb, the Feast of Passover was only a picture of what Jesus was going to do for us as Hebrew chapter 10 teaches us. There is some thought that Jesus died on Thrs. not Friday, But no matter what, it was the day of Passover. The mix up comes because the day after His dieth was the sabbath (Saturday). But the day after Passover is the day of Unleaven Bread. It is a high day, the same as a sabbath and is none as a sabbath. So that might be what is meant when the Bible says Sabbath.
before the celebration of the Jewish passover
you celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas you celebrate it because he died for are sins and he rose from the dead and he will be back one day
We celebrate the "The last supper" and when Jesus died
Jesus died on Good Friday, 2010 years ago, at around 3:00 pm.
The passover is a festival celebrated by the Jews, it reminds them of the night when they were slaves in Egypt, and they smeared the blood of lambs on the doors and in the night, the angel passed the houses. Those that did not have the blood , had their first born died.
