He would have been crucified on the same day as Passover, his atoning blood beginning to be shed in the Garden of Gethsemane on what would have been Wednesday, leading to his crucifixion that same day (or what we would call Thursday.) This would lead to the third day resurrection on Sunday. It would make sense for the Romans to release a prisoner after the Passover meal, in keeping with the release of the Jews from bondage the day following the Passover night.

You missed it then, go back and read on the day of preparation, and also, how the body was not supposed to be on the cross when the Sabbath began, that's why they went to break their legs.
It could NOT have been the Passover day.
