Why is Passover celebrated for 8 days?
The dates and length of Jewish festivals are decided according to the complex Hebrew calendar, which involves both lunar and solar measurements taken in Israel. As in the past getting the relevant information from Israel to the farthest reaches of the world would take far longer than today, Jews in other nations added an extra day to the festivals and holidays to ensure they were celebrating the event on the correct day and, over time, this became a tradition. Today, even though we have very fast worldwide communication networks which would be more than capable of allowing Jews in any country to get the information, festivals are often celebrated for one day more in the Diaspora (Jewish communities outside Israel) than they are in Israel - Passover is one example of this.

What does Easter have to do with The Last Supper?
Easter is the name of the Christian holiday to remember the Resurrection of Jesus. The Last Supper was the meal that Jesus had with his disciples before he was crucified. The Last Supper was one of the events that lead up to Jesus's crucification and resurrection. Since Easter is a celebration of his Resurrection, it usually focuses on his last days on earth that included the Last Supper. The Last Supper began as Jesus and his disciples celebrated the Jewish festival of Passover and the Passover Meal. The Passover Meal had specific prayers and steps and traditions that had been passed down through the ages. Some say that one part of the Passover Meal included a boiled egg. This tradition may explain how the Christian holiday of Easter uses eggs---but others dispute this. The Passover Meal that was observed by Jesus deviated from the usual tradition. Jesus broke the bread and drank the wine as was expected. However, when Jesus performed this part of the ceremony, he said the bread was his body and the wine was his blood. He asked the disciples to take part in this and be in covenant with him. When Christians partake of their version called The Lord's Supper, they are committing themselves to Christ and the Church. Easter is taken from the name of a goddess worshipped by the Babylonians and Assyrians (ishtar). She is the goddess of love and war whose name and (god like abilities) are equal to the goddess worshipped by the Phoenicians, named Astarte. This fact is well documented in many references. The word Easter only appears in biblical text one time (Acts 12:4), the original Greek texts actually use the word (Strongs 3957)"Pascha" which is the Greek version of the Hebrew word (6453-pecach and its root word 6452-pacach) for Passover. Its assumed and somewhat documented that the inclusion of Ishtar is related to the time of the captivity of Samara to Assyria and Judah to Babylon (70 years), where the priest line of the temple became polluted by allowing outsiders to enter into service where Levi as only supposed to be allowed to serve. Today many Christians observe a festival called Easter (Ishtar), even though biblical text is clear that the Passover is to occur, 14 days after the spring equinox. Each year at Passover a lamb was to be sacrificed which allowed the sins of the people to be forgiven (their soul to be forgiven of its sins, someone has to pay for the sins). Christ took on the role of the sacrificial lamb for one and all time (for even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us - 1 Corinthians 5:7). Christ has nothing to do with Easter (Ishtar) but everything to do with Passover as he became the sacrificial lamb for the sins of all the souls of mankind. And by allowing himself to be punished for the sins of all Mankind's souls (an act of love) he earned the right to be King of kings and Lord of lords. All people upon he earth, who whish have the freedom to believe in Christ as the sacrifical lamb who can forgive their soul of its sins, which cleans what is written in the book of life next to their name, which is read allowed at their judgment (Revelation chapter 20). The Last supper, occurred just before Christ was sacrificed as the Lamb slain for the sins of all souls of mankind. Believers are supposed to hold communion (as Christ taught them at the last supper) every year at passover.
In which day do you remember jesus last meal with his diciples?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Last Supper was held the Thursday before Easter, also known as Holy Thursday or Maundy Thursday. Another Answer:It was on a Wednesday in the year 31 AD. Taking all the 'clues' into account that the Gospels offer, and understanding how Jews then and now count days and their Festivals and High Holy Days, we can plot out a timeline that fits with the only sign Jesus gave men of His Messiahship - 3 full days like Jonah.First, days were/are counted from one sunset to another, just like the account in Genesis 1. Next, this was the Passover season - Nisan 14 - which was a Feast Day commemorating the 'passing over' of the angel of death in Egyptian captivity with Moses. The very next day - Nisan 15 - begins the High (Annual) Holy Days of the 'Feast of Unleavened Bread' which begins with a Sabbath and has the 1st Sunday after the 1st Sabbath as a 'Wave Sheath' offering (small representative bunch of early Spring Barley offered to God for His acceptance).Now the Gospels tell us that Jesus and His disciples ate the Passover meal (night portion of the Passover) beginning at sunset. The meal typically takes 3 hours and ends in a hymn. Jesus then goes to pray anticipating His cruel death shortly coming. He is taken captive after Judas betrays Him and goes back and forth between the Jewish and Roman authorities. At noon during the Passover day - a Wednesday in 31 AD, He is crucified. He dies at 3:00 PM and His followers seek and are given permission to remove the body and quickly prepare it for burial before the upcoming Sabbath - 1st day of Unleavened Bread to begin at sunset. He is buried just before the sunset of Wednesday.Recapping: Passover meal aka 'The Last Supper' began at Wednesday evening, 25 April 31 AD at the start of the Passover. He is tried and crucified on Wednesday, Passover day, 25 April 31 AD and is buried shortly before the next day began at sunset - a High Sabbath.
