Scholars believe that the Last Supper was actually a Passover seder (the traditional ritual meal celebrated by the Jews in the spring). As part of the Passover tradition, Jews cannot eat bread or leavening for the 8 days of Passover (because of the story of the Exodus where their bread did not have time to rise), so the bread that Jesus gave the apostles to eat (the symbol that eventually became the Eucharist) was most likely Matzah (the unleavened bread of passover). This also explains why Passover and Easter usually coincide.

Passover and eucharist?
The Old Testament Foreshadows the New Testament. The Passover foreshadows the Eucharist in the following ways. During Passover the Jewish people were commanded by God to slaughter an unblemished, male, lamb. This lamb's blood, when smeared over the doorway of a house, protected that family from death. For the Eucharist Jesus is the sacrificial lamb, unblemished with sin. In order for the Gates of Heaven to be re-opened to us, we needed eternal satisfaction for our sin (Adam and Eve's sin). Because Christ is God, and He died for us, He provided that eternal satisfaction. In the Eucharist we receive that eternal sacrifice in the Eucharist in a non- bloody manner.
