Passover is a Jewish holiday.
Mass is a Catholic religious service.
They are not related in any way.
Catholic (and typically Christian) answer: The mass recapitulates the last supper, which took the form of a Passover Seder as it was celebrated in the days when the Temple still stood in Jerusalem.
Jewish answer: The Catholic answer is probably wrong. If you look at the text of the traditional Catholic Mass, it strongly resembles the text of the Amidah, a prayer said three times daily in the Jewish liturgy. It has no resemblance to any of the liturgy of the Seder, a ritual that we know has been fairly stable for most of the past 2000 years. The actual ritual of communion, with blessings over bread and wine that are then consumed, strongly resembles the Kiddush ritual conducted at the start of every Sabbath and festival meal (incuding the Passover Seder), where blessings are said before consuming wine and bread. We suspect that the form of the Amidah and Kiddush ritual was already in place in Jesus time and we suspect that the Jewish followers of Jesus retained this ritual structure and gradually added new explanations linking it to the last supper until the actual origins of these rituals was forgotten.
uh, isn't that Jewish? @______@
The Passover celebration commemorates the flight from Egypt. There was no Passover meal before the flight.
You have that backward, the first Eucharist occurred during the celebration of the Last Supper, and the second half of the Mass, called the Liturgy of the Eucharist (used to be called the Mass of the Faithful) is based on the Last Supper, and the Passover meal which is was. The Eucharist is based on the third cup of wine at the Passover meal.

night of passover
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.
peter helped prepare the passover meal as he was being a friend which most people are not like these days unfortunatley!!!!
Passover is not a time of fasting, so Jewish people can eat during the middle of the day during Passover.
It was about the meal in which the lamb would be sacrificed.
