Passover commemorates the liberation, led by Moses, of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt.
The very first Eucharist (Last Supper) was part of a Passover meal celebrated by Our Lord and his apostles.
They're two different things.
Communion is an invention of the Catholic Church. What is commonly referred to as Communion in the Bible is in fact Passover. Jesus expected His disciples to keep the Passover. "As long as you eat this (Passover) bread and drink this (Passover) cup you do show the Lord's death until He comes."
Jesus instituted and celebrated the first communion with His disciples at the passover feast we now refer to as the Last Supper.
The Apostles received their first communion when it was instituted by Christ the night before he was crucified. This was during their Passover celebration just prior to his betrayal and arrest .

Jesus instituted the new symbols of bread and wine at the Passover meal which became the new symbols for the Lord's Supper. It is to be shared annually at the 'New' Passover (Nisan 14). It can be in a house, where ever two or more are gathered or in a building.1 Corinthians 10:16New King James Version (NKJV) 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
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. However, it's neither surprising nor coincidental that Passover usually begins during Holy Week, because the Last Supper that we celebrate on Holy Thursday was actually a Passover Seder. That's why communion wafers are unleavened.
