The Feast of Passover is on the fourteenth day at evening (beginning of the fifteenth biblical day) of the first biblical month to remember when they were delivered and when death passed over all who's house was covered by the blood of the Lamb.
Matthew 26
26And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
For more information about this feast you can find two pdfs below. One for more text to study and one for a menue of food items you can use for the feast.
Where did the Passover come from?
Passover began when God freed the Israelites from Egypt with ten plagues . The last was a death sentence. To protect themselves from death, the Israelites painted the blood of an unblemished lamb over their doorways and the destroyer passed over them.
How does the Passover Represent Jesus?
Jesus is the unblemished lamb. His blood covers us and cleanses us from our sins. He was sacrificed on the day of Passover. The entire Passover feast, which he ate with his disciples, points to him.
Food for Passover
These are the biblically required menu items.
BBQ Lamb with a dry rub (chicken or turkey if you can't eat lamb). I say BBQ because the meat has to be roasted over a fire.
Unleavened bread
Bitter herbs (lettuce, chicory, horseradish, and clover. Other potential bitter options would include parsley, endive, green onion, and celery)
Red wine or grape juice
Other foods that don't have leavening
Mac and cheese (most other noodles)
Sweet potatoes
Any kind of potatoes
Chips
Cornus chips
Corn Tortillas
All fruits and veggies
Rice
The biggest thing is to double check everything, even seasoning packets, to make sure there is no leavening in anything.
Leavening includes: yeast, yeast extract, baking soda, baking powder, some eggs depending on how they're used (like in breads, cake, or cookies), bicarbonate of ammonia or ammonia carbonate (Baking ammonia) and other bicarbonates, and sourdough starter.
