Passover is a Jewish and Samaritan celebration of the Hebrews' escape from bondage in Egypt. In the book of Exodus, in The Bible, God sent ten plagues among Pharoah and the Egyptians to get Pharaoah to free the Hebrews. On the tenth plague, God warned the killing of the first born child of every home, with the exception of the Hebrews' home with the blood of a lamb spread on their doorpost. That night, God sent his holy spirit, and the homes with the blood of the lamb on the doorposts were passed over, creating the term passover. As a result, Pharoah freed the Hebrews.

What new meaning did Jesus give to the Passover meal?

Our Blessed Lord used the occasion of the Passover to institute the Lord's Supper: the most Holy Eucharist, commonly known as the Mass. The meaning that He gave to it came the following day, on Good Friday, when He offered His life on the cross for the redemption and salvation of all of us. Thus the meaning that He gave it was the sacrifice of Himself upon the cross. This meaning was always there as the old Passover meal re-presented the Passover in Egypt when God saved His people which was to foreshadow the great Passover when God saved His people through the wood of the cross.

Although some Christians can choose to reference Passover, they do not celebrate the actual Jewish holiday of Passover.
