Christians don’t celebrate Passover because it was a type and shadow pointing towards Christ. Celebrating it would be denying Jesus Christ was born, died and rose from the dead.
We Christians worship every Sunday to remember Jesus rose from the dead on that day.

I don’t think I could ever look at it like a celebration.
It’s more to me like “in honor” and “in remembrance” of the price that was paid on our behalf.
I also consider it a “renewal” of the covenant to those who believed in Him, and received of Him.
Doing this IS in remembrance of His sacrificial death and resurrection.
To say otherwise is a great distortion in itself.
Although I appreciate your input, I must disagree with you with no malice, or intent to offend you.
The passages I read from on the night of Passover are from Isaiah 53 in its entirety. Then I go on to Luke 22, Matthew 26, John 13, and 1 Corinthians 11. This is done in remembrance of the Sacrifice of His body and His blood for He has become our Passover Lamb, as I partake of the unleavened bread, and the cup. It is all done in humbleness, thankfulness, and in prayer. For it to be misconstrued beyond that is not good, and the tears that I shed as I read Isaiah 53 are not in vain. The Lord knows my heart, and I want to do my best to be pleasing unto Him, and not to any other.
Here are some passages of Scripture to consider:
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. (Luke 22:19-20)
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
I will let His Word speak for itself, and I will do my best to abide in that Word for it is faithful and true.
