The spring Feasts Commonly called Passover.. which started on the 14th of the month of Nisan.. (Passover feast), then the feast of (Unleavened Bread) on the 15th.. and ends with the (feast of First fruits) which occurs on the first day after the Sabbath after unleavened bread... a Sunday...

*Note that during the passover meal there were 4 cups that were served...

The first cup was celebrating the call of the people of God in Abraham, the second was the celebration of the deliverance of the nation in Moses, the third cup celebrated the forgiveness of sin in the coming Messiah, and the forth cup celebrated the promise of God to gather his people to Him in the future forever.. also note that during the passover meal at the third cup.. Jesus stood up and declared himself as the Messiah and established the "Lords Supper" and His statement that he would not drink of the cup again until He drinks it with us in Heaven, (the fourth Cup). See Matthew 26:27-29.

The Old Testament festival during which the Lord's Supper (or Eucharist) was instituted is the Passover. Jesus and his disciples celebrated the Passover meal before Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper as a remembrance of his sacrifice.

Because many modern scientist believe Jesus was crucified on the 4th Passover of His 3.5 year ministry, they have come to the following dates - remember Jewish days begin and end at sunset:

Last Supper - Passover night, 25 April 31 AD, 4th Passover as Sir Isaac newton first postulated

Crucifixion - Passover day 25 April 31 AD, just before sunset and start of High Annual Sabbath

Resurrection - Saturday Sabbath, 28 April 31 AD, just before sunset and start of first day - Sunday

Ascension - Thursday, 07 June 31 ADHoly Spirit NT Church - Pentecost Sunday (50 days after resurrection Saturday), 17 April 31 AD which is 10 days after His ascension back into Heaven.

The Lords Supper was at supper time. Jesus speaks of two sorts of meal times in The Bible--the aristron (breakfast) and the deipnon (supper). He requested that He be remembered with a deipnon, whereas most Christians actually do an aristron. Christians began worshipping in the pre-dawn hours to avoid persecution by the Romans and today continue to practice breakfast time worship simply for modern convenience. Some Christians also de-emphasize the supper time connotation of the supper by referring to it as a eucharist, feast, communion or meal. God's way is always best however and a supper-time meal is the appropriate observance.

We have no way of knowing. It is known that the Crucifixion took Three Hours, but this does not pinpoint the time of day- ETA- Jerusalem. The Biblical usage of time is different than our own ( At the End of the Third Hour...) could refer to either 3 PM ( starting at Noon, or more logically, to me , 4 PM . Similar anomalies exist with the Sabbath ( 7Th day starting from what?) Big theological battles get fought over these issues, and fought hard! It is popularily believed ( Last Supper) to have occurred on the evening of what we call Holy Thursday ( the evening before the crucifixion, which is of course fixed, no pun intended, on Good Friday.) we have no idea what local time the meal started, how long it lasted, etc. At times the Bible can be deliberately vague.

Because by commemorating it we are reminded of His sacrifice of His life so we can be saved.
