Should Easter follow Passover?
Technically yes, as Easter celebrates Christ's Resurrection and Passover was either the day of the crucifixion or the day before it.However the dates of these holy days are currently determined by different calenders: Easter by the Gregorian solarcalender, Passover by the traditional Jewish lunarcalendar. As these calendars use different systems, dates in each shift with respect to the other, so in some years Easter comes before Passover.One of the many reasons Pope Gregory ordered the development of a new calendar was to avoid having to always consult the Jewish Rabbis for the date of Passover in order to compute the date of Easter (Jewish/Christian relations were very bitter by this time).

What years will Easter and Passover the same weekend?
Although the date for Easter usually does NOT fall on the same date as Passover, it IS entirely possible that it could. Here's why:Easter, celebrated on a different date every year, set by church officials, is held annually on a Sunday sometime in March or April.Passover, first celebrated by the Israelites in Egypt and recorded in the original Hebrew scriptures, is an annual event which begins after sundown on Nisan 14, according to the Jewish calendar. This date ALWAYS coincides with the first full moon after the spring equinox. This year (2010) the Passover was held after sundown on Tuesday evening, March 30th.Currently commemorated annually by Christians, this is now commonly referred to as The Lord's Evening Meal, The Last Supper, or The Memorial of the Death of Jesus Christ.This year, 2012, this special memorial occasion was held on April 5th, after sunset.
Are the Passover and Good Friday on the same day?
Of course it does; hence the name Good Friday Easter Sunday, for Catholics and Protestants, is the first Sunday after the first full moon after March 20 (which is the placeholder date used for the Spring Equinox in these rather ancient calculations.) Good Friday is two days before, potentially on the full moon or slightly before it. Easter ends the season of Lent, which lasts 40 days from Ash Wednesday until Easter Sunday.

Why was Easter on 26th March 1989 instead of April?
Western Easter is in March, but Orthodox Easter is in April this year (2008). The Easter date is determined by four main factors. The first two have been established by Apostolic canon, making them binding, and the last two have been established by church tradition. The West no longer keeps the requirement for Easter to be after the Jewish Passover (see point No. 2 below), and that is why Western Christians had their Easter on 23 March this year. The Easter date is set according to the Julian or Old Calendar and this date must be: 1) after the Vernal (Spring) Equinox, and 2) after the Jewish Passover, and 3) with the first full moon in Spring, and 4) on a Sunday after 21 March. So Orthodox Easter in 2008 is on 27 April.
When was the first celebration of the Passover holiday?
