As Jewish days are from sunset until after twilight the following evening, and Passover is on the 15th of Nisan, so the first day of Passover finishes after twilight on the 15th of Nisan.

Do you mean "Why...?"

If so, the answer is that according to the Hebrew calendar, each new day begins when the sun goes down rather than at midnight as is the case with the secular calendar. Therefore, Passover - along with other festivals - begins at sundown as that signifies the beginning of the day that the festival falls upon.

Only if you're in Israel. In the Diaspora, it ends April 6th 2010 at sundown.

If you do live in Israel, be aware that I am very jealous - I really want a sandwich and I have to wait another 24 hours. :-)

According to the Jewish reckoning of time in the calendar, every day ... ordinary working day, sabbath, or holiday ... begins at sunset, and runs roughly 24 hours until the next sunset, when a new day begins. Passover, as well as every other major or minor holiday, ends at sunset on its last day.
