New Testament believers actually continued celebrating Passover as a memorial of the redemption accomplished by Jesus in His death.

This divine foreshadowing is further shown during the Last Supper, where Jesus and his disciples were celebrating what we know as the “Passover Seder.” Jesus introduced a powerful new dimension to the historic Passover feast that Moses recorded in the book of Exodus. He explained profound meaning for the sacrifice of himself that he was about to endure, symbolizing his body and blood as the fulfilment of God’s new covenant (Matthew 26:26-28).
