Why is Passover celebrated 7 days in Israel and 8 days outside of Israel?
Actually, Passover was established as a 7 day festival. In fact, Passover is still celebrated as a 7 day festival in the land of Israel. However, in the Diaspora, the festival is 8 days. The reason for this is that when the new moon was originally sanctified in Jerusalem, the messengers couldn't get to the Jews living in the diaspora in time in order to let them know when the festival was to begin. As such, Jews in the diaspora kept an extra day because of the doubt. Now, even though there is a fixed calendar, this tradition continues and the festival is 7 days in Israel and 8 days in the diaspora. The first day of Passover (first two in the diaspora) is considered a holy day (Yom Tov). On the first day the Jews left Egypt. The seventh day (and the 8th day in the diaspora) is also considered a holy day. On the seventh day the miracle of splitting the sea occurred. The days in between are the intermediate days of the festival.

Is Passover 7 days or 8 days?
According to the instructions in the Torah, the Passover festival lasts for seven days.Each family brings the Paschal lamb sacrifice to the Temple, and eats it there, on thefirst day, and refrains from eating any leavened products for the rest of the 7 days.Judging by the use of the past tense in the question, it may surprise you to learn thatright now, today, in 2013, the Passover is still observed throughout the Jewish world,with two primary modifications: First, the Paschal lamb sacrifice is not offered, because,just now, there is sadly no Temple in which to offer it. Second, for very technical reasons,the festival is observed for eight (8) days by Jews outside of Israel.Answer:Both. The Torah calls it both one day (Leviticus 23:5) and one week (Leviticus 23:6). The one day refers to the offering up of the Passover sacrifice, while the full week is the complete festival. Note that the Passover sacrifice was offered up on the day before the full festival (unlike what the above answer implies). The day before Passover, while not a complete day of rest, was observed (Talmud, Pesachim 2b) as a minor festival (comparable to Purim, Tisha B'Av and Hol HaMoed, which have a partial cessation from work). The offering was brought on the afternoon of that day and was eaten that night, the first night of the full Passover festival itself.
What was the pagan feast that occurred at the same time as the resurrection of Christ?
Are you thinking of Passover? That was hardly Pagan, being Jewish. The Roman calendar being solar and the Jewish calendar being lunar/solar, you need the exact year of the crucifixion in order to figure out what Roman festival would have aligned with. There is no scholarly consensus about this date, and the Roman calendar is cluttered with minor feast days.
