No. Good Friday is Christian and always occurs on a Friday. Passover is a Jewish festival and occurs on a different day. They are usually close to each other, but not always together and they are celebrating different things. Passover is not celebrated by Christians and Good Friday is not celebrated by Jews.

Why did Good Friday fall in March in 2008?
Good Friday fell early this year because of the method of calculating the time of Passover. Good Friday, because it is the Friday before Easter Saturday, and coincides with the Jewish Pasch (Passover) has to be calculated using a Lunar calendar.

Good Friday is two days before, potentially on the full moon or slightly before it. Easter ends the season of Lent, which lasts 40 days from Ash Wednesday until Easter Sunday.
When was the last time Good Friday and Passover fell on the same day?
The 15th of Nisan, the first day of Passover on the Hebrew calendar, never falls on a Friday due to rules that govern on what days of the week a year may begin.

That's why communion wafers are unleavened.
