I'm conducting a Passover service at my church tomorrow. The Pastor and several members of leadership are attending and we'll have a holy convocation and solemn assembly.

It is the yearly observance of two things:
1) Israel's deliverance from Egyptian bondage.
2) Our personal deliverance from spiritual bondage by Yeshua (Jesus), our Passover Lamb.
Fewer things in life are as Apostolic as celebrating Passover the way the Apostles did (in spirit and in truth) at the Last Supper. We do it in remembrance of Him.
Although the actual DAY of Passover was on Wed. Apr. 8th, the absence of the Holy Temple allows it to be extended somewhat into the 7-day Festival of Unleavened Bread. A seder (Passover service) is still appropriate throughout the week until the end (Wed. night Apr. 15th) of the festival. It teaches us beautiful lessons about Jesus, especially His identity as the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53.
