Passover is set according to the Hebrew Calandar, which is based on the ancient near easern calander of UR. It goes by the moon, and is calculated differently then the western (roman/european) calandar. Jesus did in fact die on passover, somewhen between 30 and 33 AD depending on when the census in Luke two happened and couting within the text from there. The testimony is that there has to be 3 days and three nights or 36ish hours between his death and resurection, and his resurection is on the first day of the week, which was sunday even then. So it wasnt a friday, it was probobly a wednesday or whatever the romans called wednesday, as they did not worship wotan, that was the Norse.
When the curch "fathers" decided to try and christianize pagen peoples, they picked a date close to passover that was already being celebrated in the name of a pagen Godess. They wanted it close to passover because the real crucifixion was on passover, but they were specificly taking over a pagen holiday. There is a song called why should the devil have all the good music, (sung by randy noman) and this was a case of why should the pagens have all the fun holidays. so easter is not exactly on passover most years, bjt it is the cosest sunday to it most of the time, and passover moves because its on a different caladar with rules all it's own.

There are a few factors you need to keep in mind when looking at the Crucifixion.
1. Passover is celebrated by the Jewish calendar which is 15 to 21-22 day of Nissan. It is not calculated the same as our calendar. That is why it falls on a different day every year.
2. The Jewish day is from sunset to sunset so in essence 6:00pm to 6:00 pm.
3. Jesus was crucified on the day prior to the Sabbath which would have been Friday. He died around 3: pm during the time of sacrifice of the lambs, and had to be placed in the tomb before sunset because the sabbath began at 6:00 pm. No work could be done on the sabbath and especially handling a dead body.
4. Mary came to the tomb after 6:00 am on Sunday, the first day of the week. Thus 3 days had elapsed according to the Jewish time frame. The tomb was empty, and an angel sat on the stone. You know the rest of the story. Hope this helps

Good Friday1 (also called "Great Friday" or "Holy Friday") is the most somber day of the entire year. A silence pervades, socializing is kept to a minimum, things are done quietly; it is a day of mourning; it is a funeral. The Temple of the Body of Christ is destroyed, capping the the penitential seasons begun on Septuagesima Sunday and becoming more intense throughout Lent. Traditional Catholics wear black, cover their mirrors, extinguish candles and any lamps burning before icons, keep amusements and distractions down, and go about the day in great solemnity.
Jesus was put on the Cross at the very end of the third hour (the time between 9 and noon), and almost the sixth hour. He died at the ninth hour:
Mark 15:25, 33
And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him... And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole earth until the ninth hour.
Because Jesus was on the Cross between the hours of Noon and 3:00 PM, these three hours today are considered the most sacred of all. A devotion called "Tre Ore" or "Three Hours' Agony" might be held at this time; if not, you can do it yourself by meditating on His Passion -- reading the Gospel narratives of the Passion, making the Stations of the Cross by yourself, praying the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary, praying the Litany of the Passion, etc. Draw the curtains, take the phone off the hook, turn off televisions and radios, quiet your environment and yourself, and meditate on what Christ has done for you. At 3:00, "The Hour" He died, the atmosphere should be as if you are standing next to the deathbed of your father who died a moment ago.
No true Mass is offered today (or tomorrow until the Vigil tomorrow evening); instead a liturgy called the "Mass of the Presanctified" is offered , which is not a true Mass because no consecration takes place. Instead, we consume Hosts consecrated at yesterday's Mass. Vestment colors will be black, and the liturgy consists of lessons, prayer, St. John's version of the Passion, and ends with a long series of prayers for various intentions: the Church, the Pope, the faithful, those engaged in public affairs, catechumens, the needs of the faithful, unity, the conversion of the Jews, the conversion of infidels. These intentions are called the Great Intercessions, and we kneel after each.

Jesus died on a Friday (I don't know what date). Jesus rose on the third day (which is Sun).
Good Friday is good because Jesus has taken away our sins on this day.
The passover is a meal celebrating how the angel passover the houses when Moses and the Israelites were slaves in Egypt.

Jesus is said to have been crucified on the thursday before passover, died friday or saturday morning and resurrected on Sunday
the date depends largely on the Jewish calendar for passover, which depends on the moon, like Tony said.

The Lord instituted the Jewish Passover a long time back when Israel was freed from the hands of Pharoah in Egypt.
The Passover is a day when God passed over the land and struck Egypt by killing the firstborn of every household and animal. Only those who had the blood of a lamb without blemish upon the doorposts of their houses escaped this plague of death. After this event occurred Pharaoh freed Israel and allowed them to leave Egypt.
This was a symbolic shadow of the true lamb of God that was to come, Jesus Christ. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is known as the Lamb of God and He is without blemish in the sense that He is sinless, His blood on the doorposts of our heart protects us from the time of God's final judgment upon mankind. Jesus Christ was coincidentally crucified on the Jewish Passover thus indicating that He was indeed the Passover Lamb whose blood was shed for us that we might live and not die.
