Christians celebrate the Lord supper because it was a command from Jesus.
Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, "Take this and divide it among yourselves; for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."
19 And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."
Jesus also said, to do it so that you would remember what he has done for those who believe in Him
1 Corinthians 11:24 And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

Why is the last supper important to modern day Christians?
The Last Supper or Communion is supposed to be observed as a Memorial to our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself instructed his disciples to do this "in remembrance of Me". You can find this quote in the book of Luke , Chapter 22, verse 19. I must note that observing the Lords Supper is serious business and should be done in a totally respectful manner only to honor Christ Jesus. The Last Supper is important to Christians for what it commemorates - the suffering and death of their Lord and Saviour. Jesus began this practice 'on the night when He was betrayed,' in the shadow of the cross. In the same way Christians are to live in the shadow of their own personal cross and death to self just like their Master and Lord.
Why did the Christians celebrate Passover?
It is no longer the "Passover" that Christians celebrate but it is instead "The Lords Evening Meal" or "Lord's Supper" which was a new covenant that Jesus made that night. At Luke 22:19 Jesus commanded his apostles to "Keep doing this in remembrance of me." Later the apostle Paul also confirmed that Christians were to keep the memorial observance at 1 Corinthians 11:20-26.Source Material: "The Watchtower" February 15, 2003 issue.
