The Passover is still the Passover, or Pesach, to the Jews. In the Christian calendar, Good Friday which is observed two days before Easter Sunday, falls at the same time as the Jewish Passover.
Although some Christians can choose to reference Passover, they do not celebrate the actual Jewish holiday of Passover. The main reason being that the beliefs of Christianity are diametrically opposed to the meaning behind Passover. Christians celebrate the holiday of Easter which occurs at the same time of year as Passover (although the two holidays are completely unrelated).
Passover and Hanukkah are two entirely different holidays.
Shevuos is about six weeks after Passover. If Lag BaOmer counts, then about two weeks after Passover is Lag BaOmer.
According to the instructions in the Torah, the Passover festival lasts for seven days.Each family brings the Paschal lamb sacrifice to the Temple, and eats it there, on thefirst day, and refrains from eating any leavened products for the rest of the 7 days.Judging by the use of the past tense in the question, it may surprise you to learn thatright now, today, in 2013, the Passover is still observed throughout the Jewish world,with two primary modifications: First, the Paschal lamb sacrifice is not offered, because,just now, there is sadly no Temple in which to offer it. Second, for very technical reasons,the festival is observed for eight (8) days by Jews outside of Israel.Answer:Both. The Torah calls it both one day (Leviticus 23:5) and one week (Leviticus 23:6). The one day refers to the offering up of the Passover sacrifice, while the full week is the complete festival. Note that the Passover sacrifice was offered up on the day before the full festival (unlike what the above answer implies). The day before Passover, while not a complete day of rest, was observed (Talmud, Pesachim 2b) as a minor festival (comparable to Purim, Tisha B'Av and Hol HaMoed, which have a partial cessation from work). The offering was brought on the afternoon of that day and was eaten that night, the first night of the full Passover festival itself.
They High Holy Days are Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. They and Passover are Jewish holidays, originating in the Torah (Leviticus ch.23), on which no work is to be done (ibid). Other than that, their details are different. See also:http://judaism.answers.com/jewish-holidays/the-jewish-holidays
