Passover really should be a Christian festival as it is mentioned, as well as commanded in The Bible. Besides, if someone says that they aren't Jewish just Christian, I believe they are very confused. Read Romans 11 or throughout the Bible and you will find that when someone repents and believes in God etc, they become grafted on to the Jewish people, in a spiritual sense, not literally they become Jewish and have Jewish blood, but they are part of the covenant God made with Abraham and his descendants. Thus they should also obey the commands of God given to Moses, including all the 10 commandments; this includes the Sabbath on the seventh day. I guess, besides Passover itself, it would be Easter, since it is the closest in time. Also, in the seder/ceremony of Passover, there is a egg to represent new life, as well as lamb's bone to represent the sacrifice of the Messiah, or Jesus.(Although there are tons of different opinions on who the Messiah is, I won't get into that...)However, though I am not exactly sure, I think Easter was sort of created by some Roman emperor to replace Passover, and Easter also incorporated, similar to Christmas, a lot of pagan aspects.

Why was it called the Jewish Passover?
In many languages other than English and German, Easter is known either as Passover or a derivative of the word. There is also a Christian festival named Passover, observed by small numbers of Protestants as they believe celebrating the event gives their worship greater authenticity (due to the fact that Christ, as a Jew, would have celebrated Passover) such as the United Church of God.Thus, Jewish Passover is a term used to distinguish the Jewish festival from those of other religious groups that observe the event - among Jews, this is not an issue since we usually refer to it as Pesach.
