He instituted the symbols of the wine and bread ON Passover.

Then you are saying Jesus changed the Passover from how it was previously celebrated. How do you celebrate it? As jews celebrate it or changed as you believe Jesus changed it. What is your passover celebration, how does it vary from that of the jews?

Passover not only portended the sacrifice of Christ, but he commanded us to observe it as a remembrance of his sacrifice

I'm not jewish but I don't think the jewish celebration of Passover includes: "this is my body, eat.." does it? Again, how does your celebration of Passover differ from that of the jews before Jesus changed it?

Because Jesus Christ had already created all of the holy days that mankind would ever need…

So you say.

God didn't need man to invent…God had plenty of opportunities to tell us that we should have new holy days…

He established His Church. God doesn't "need" man for anything. He, obviously uses man in His work.

I have but a vague idea of how Jews celebrate the Passover. Churches of God in general have a Passover service. In that service scripture is read concerning the Passover (from both old and new testaments) and a short sermon is given. Unleavened bread and wine is passed out and consumed by the congregation in remembrance of Christ and his sacrifice. Footwashing (as commanded by Christ in John 13:14,15) is then performed...men wash men's feet and women wash women's feet. It's a pretty solemn occassion, meant to bring to remembrance the gravity of what Christ accomplished.
