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.

Chametz can be eaten in Jerusalem until the morning before Passover and cannot be eaten again until the end of the Passover season. The exact time until when chametz can be eaten is publicized locally in Jewish communities. Some religious Jews burn or destroy any chametz they have in preparation for Passover.
The last two days of passover in 2009/5769 are April 14 & 15.

The Passover is a very holy, sacred time. The Sanhedrin probably realised the arrest would end in death, and did not want the Passover to be violated by a good teacher's death. They may not have believed His claim about being the Son of God, but they did acknowledge Him as being a teacher who spoke with authority.
The passover was a feast of the Jews ,in remembeaence of the time they were freed from slavery in Egypt.
Passover is always celebrated at the same time on the Hebrew calendar, the 15th of Nisan. However, the Hebrew and Western calendars are not the same so Passover falls on different dates on the Western calendar.
