As the lamb of God, Jesus was the last to be sacrificed on that Passover, which is always Nisan 14 on he Jewish calander, Carpanon.

Isn't it communion that you do in remembrance of Jesus? That has nothing to do with Passover, we have a sort of "communion" with bread and wine before every meal.

The jews who accepted Jesus as the messiah, (soon to be called Christians) needed to seperate from normal hebrew practice inorder to create the new movement. I don't believe Jesus ever said the date, although we do know that he said that to his disciples at Passover seder ( This is why Easters' date is determined by the Jewish calender, as Good Friday must follow the start of Passover) . I believe Peter instilled this into Christian doctrine at the same time he changed the Sabbath to Sunday from Saturday ( the day Jesus taught to rest) To sum up , it was to be different from normal practice although a large part of Christian doctrine was established for political purposes in Rome at the time when Ceasers rule was ending.

The "Lord's Supper" as it is sometimes called STARTED on Passover, but the apostles that he was speaking to did it EVERY WEEK.
This was the origin of the Christian weekly assembly, set on Sunday by the apostles in commemoration of Jesus' RESURRECTION. Remember, those were the guys that the Holy Spirit was to come and "LEAD INTO ALL TRUTH." (John 16:13)

Jesus wasn't talking about celebrating His death. He was talking about remembering His reason for coming. And Good Friday is a remembrance of His death.

but they do celebrate his death. in the catholic church they celebrate the stations of the cross, wich is the story of jesus's death. it is a religious remembrance of him. it talks about how judas betrayed hi, peter failed and denied him, mary seeing her son die, the soiledrs that were there, the garden of olivs,jesus's death and the evnts leading to it. one popular form of the stations is pope john paul the II's "we were there" virsion.

So the JW are the only ones who celebrate it on the right day? Just how do you know when "Nisan14" is? My Bible doesn't make mention of this date. Silly me, I read the KJV.

Because most individuals do what is sociably acceptable. majority over-ruled. Most people work during that day, therefore Holiday was generated to celebrate the Birth of Christ when most businesses are slow and most schools are vacating.
