If Jesus command it. why the most important date of humand mankind will pass without any glory and too many people talking about Jesus are not going to remembrance the exact day that he died?
Do you know that Jesus died in passover?
And that was the date of Jesus died (Luke 22:1-19), the date is in exodus 12:1-5 day 14 and the month exodus 13:1-5 (Abib) later called Nisan (Esther 3:7) is the next April 2, Jehovah´Witnesses invite you to conmemorate it in each of the 99,000 congregation worlwide after sunset, it is one hour, free, no tithing, no conversion, just to remember the most important date of the human history.
Luke 22:19
Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “This means my body which is to be given in YOUR behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me.
Ask your pastor if he knows this date? and don´t be amaze if he told you is not in the bible

Because they care more about human traditions, marshmallow peeps, and chocolate bunnies than they do for the explicit commands of Christ.
It is shameful and inexcusable that so many self-described "Christians" ignore what is the most significant "Memorial" one could observe is, the Memorial of Christ's death. It is sometimes called "the Last Supper" or "the Lord's Evening Meal".
(1 Corinthians 11:23-25, NWT) The Lord Jesus in the night in which he was going to be handed over took a loaf... Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” 25 He did likewise respecting the cup.. Keep doing this... in remembrance of me.”
(1 Cor 11:24, 25, NEB) "Do this as a memorial of me.”
Christ Jesus himself personally celebrated and explained the significance of that Last Supper to his followers (see Matthew 26:26-29). Apparently Jesus Christ established the occasion to supercede the Jewish Passover, which occurs after sunset on the 14th of Nisan (a month of the Jewish calendar).
(Luke 22:14-16) At length when the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him. 15 And [Jesus] said to them: “I have greatly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I tell you, I will not eat it again until it becomes fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
Sadly, it is only a minority of professed Christians who follow the BIBLICAL pattern for the Last Supper which was established by Christ himself. Sadly, most of Christendom ignores Christ's celebration and instead follow unrelated human traditions which purport to honor Christ, but in ways unconnected with what Jesus Christ established.
Like the former Passover, those Christians who commemorate the Last Supper have also done so on the date corresponding to Nisan 14, which generally falls between late March and mid-April. Interestingly, Christians in the centuries immediately after Christ's impalement were sometimes called "Quartodecimans" which literally mean "fourteen-ers"
There are fundamental differences between the Memorial which Christ Jesus instituted and the so-called "Easter" which Christendom adopted from pagan worship of the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre (or Oestre). While most Easter celebrations merely repackage pagan fertility festivals and concentrate on eating, decorating, and frivolity, the Last Supper focuses on the value of Christ's sacrifice and the sober obligation of Christianity.
(Matthew 15:6-9) You have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, Isaiah aptly prophesied about you when he said, 8 ‘This people honors me with their lips, yet their heart is far removed from me. 9 It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach commands of men as doctrines.’”

1. Passover is eight days.
2. Jesus died the day after he did the bread and wine bit.
3. During the years Jesus was supposedly alive the Hebrew's calendar was a lunar calender and thusly passover could wonder through a cycle of eleven days depending on the year and moon. We don't know when passover took place that year because no one mentions it in any Bible.
You got the facts now, tell this Asker like it is and what a wee bit of true research can do. Then he can carry the message of truth back to his Shouter.

We do observe the day, but not the exact date. Passover changes from year to year. It is not at a set date, so you can't set the date for Easter at a set date. The Christian church figures the day for Easter as follows: The first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox. This the the Western Church. The Eastern Church says that it must also be after Passover.
Yes, in the Luke passage you site, Jesus was blessing the bread at the Passover meal, the Seder.

Because that was part of God's plan for Jesus to die for us. There are three important days: Jesus birthday, the day Jesus died, and most important the day is the day of His resurrection. I knew that Jesus died during Passover it is very clearly stated in the Bible. I have never been to a church that didn't know that. The exact date is unknown.
It is in the resurrection that we have hope. Our Savior is alive and in heaven preparing a place for us and will come back for His own.
John 14
1-4 "Don't let this throw you. You trust God, don't you? Trust me. There is plenty of room for you in my Father's home. If that weren't so, would I have told you that I'm on my way to get a room ready for you? And if I'm on my way to get your room ready, I'll come back and get you so you can live where I live. And you already know the road I'm taking."
Luke 22
19Taking bread, he blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, given for you. Eat it in my memory."
20He did the same with the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant written in my blood, blood poured out for you.

This sounds like you are seeking converts to your own advantage.
