Basically, Easter originates from a pagan background to do with fertility, etc.
Passover originates from when the enslaved Israelites survived God's judgement on the Egyptians for refusing to let His people go. God instructed his people to mark their doorways with the blood of a lamb so that the 'angel of death' would see it and 'pass over' not killing the firstborn sons of those households.
As related inthe New Testament, Jesus was crucified at the time of Passover. The 'last supper' He shared with his disciples was a passover meal and he taught them that it now has extra meaning for those who follow Him as a reminder of His body broken and blood spilt for the forgiveness of mankind's sin.
So in summary, Passover is very important to Hebrewsand Christians as a remembrance of God's deliverance of his people and has extra importance for Christians as remembrance of what Jesus did to enable salvation.
Easter on the other hand actually has nothing to do with passover / Christianity and is fully pagan in origin - unfortunately it has become very mixed over time.
I hope this is helpful in clearing things up.

Jews don't hate Christmas and Easter. They just don't celebrate these occasions because it's not part of their religion. These two holidays weren't created for Jewish people but for Christian people. The bigger problem here is: Who told you that Jews hate Christmas and Easter ? Why did that person feel he had to lie to you ? Is he trying to stir up some kind of trouble between us ?

What Anti Semitism was at Council of Nicea?
At the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE, anti-Semitism was primarily reflected in the tensions between early Christians and Jewish communities. The Council sought to define Christian doctrine and address issues such as the date of Easter, which highlighted the growing rift between Christians and Jews. Some early Christian leaders viewed Jewish practices and beliefs as a threat, leading to the marginalization of Jewish influence in the developing Christian faith and the promotion of negative stereotypes about Jews. This laid groundwork for future theological and social animosities between the two groups.
