They're two completely different holidays.
Jesus observed Passover, as he was Jewish. Easter did not exist then. It was his resurrection that created Easter.
I think Easter is the following Sunday after Passover.
Easter in 2016 was on March 27th, and Passover began on the evening of April 22nd.
Easter is named after the goddess of fertility, Oestre, whose festival used to fall on the Spring equinox. Passover is a different holiday celebrated by a different religion and is still called its original name which is Pesach (meaning: the mouth speaks).
Easter
The passover; the feast of Easter.
Easter is not schedualed by the Julian calendar; it is schedualed by the Jewish calendar in conjunction with Passover, the time during which Christ was arrested, tried, and crucified.
The orthodox Easter is celebrated on different dates as Easter in Australia because the orthodox religion follows the Jewish. This is the Sunday after the Jewish Passover and when the hours in the day are equal to the hours of the night called the "Equlbruim". The Sunday ( a week after the Jewish Passover) is called Palm Sunday for the Orthodox Christians. The Orthodox Christians use this tradition because that is the way it hs been instructed in the Bible.

Leviticus makes no mention of Easter, since Easter was originally a pagan holiday turned into a Christian holiday more than 1500 years after Leviticus was written.Passover commemorates the Exodus from Egypt, but Leviticus doesn't mention Passover as a holiday. It only provides some laws for the remembrance of the Exodus.
Passover in 2016 begins at sunset on Friday, April 22nd and ends at nightfall on Saturday, April 30th. Easter in 2016 is on Sunday, March 27th.
Easter is observed around the same time as Passover.
