Bear in mind that Passover has to be on Thursday, because it's schedule is related to the Sabbath. So it makes no sense to me why they should ever be off, especially since Judaism uses the same lunar calendar as Roman Ecclesiasticals.
I also have participated in Passover Seders and I greatly enjoyed the correlation between Jewish symbols and Christian. It's not hard to see why Passover was the chosen time of the crucifixion from a faith standpoint.
Meaning, schmeaning. It's fun to look at the historicity. :)
Ahh, right, I had forgotten that. The triumphal entry happened on Nisan 13, by the Galilean calendar, though they celebrated passover on Nisan 15 of the Jerusalem calendar, which was a day later than that in Galilee.
