Answer: Passover is set by the full moon in Jerusalem. The moon must be full before sundown and Passover follows that evening. The Jewish month is Abib/Nisan. This year, 2009, the Passover begins at sundown on the 9th of April in Jerusalem. As April 9th arrives in each time zone, those who celebrate the Passover will gather at sundown and observe. Sundown on the 9th of April is also the beginning of the 15th day of Abib/Nisan. So, the Passover begins and is the first day of seven days of unleavened bread. The Passover will take place after sundown in the Central Time Zone in America on the evening of the 9th of April. Sundown is considered when looking to the east the first star is seen. It appears sunset will be about 7:25pm in the Central Time Zone. The moon was full at 9:57am April 9, 2009. So Passover must fall after this on the next evening, which is sundown of the 9th. If you missed it this year, try observing it next year. The rule is, Passover is the first evening AFTER the first full moon after the spring equinox. This means after 7:25pm EST on April 9, 2009 you can observe the Passover.

What time was the lord supper?

Passover dinners begin a few minutes before sunset. Since Jesus was a Jew (in fact, a rabbi of the Essene sect of Judaism) and the "Last Supper" was a Passover Seder, we can presume that this began just before sunset.
