Passover is a Jewish holiday.
Holy week is a Christian event.
The Eucharist was first carried out in the Upper Room, or Cenacle, in Jerusalem by Jesus during Passover. Today that date is celebrated on Holy Thursday of Holy Week.
The 15th of Nisan, the first day of Passover on the Hebrew calendar, never falls on a Friday due to rules that govern on what days of the week a year may begin. However, it's neither surprising nor coincidental that Passover usually begins during Holy Week, because the Last Supper that we celebrate on Holy Thursday was actually a Passover Seder. That's why communion wafers are unleavened.
