Passover is a Jewish feast. I am not Jewish, therefore I do not observe it. I do however participate in the memorial know as communion or the Lord’s Supper. THAT is the Christian thing to do.

Passover as kept by Jews is a jewish feast. Passover kept as Christ commanded is certainly a Christian practice. "Communion" is a bastardization of the original practice of observing the yearly passover with the symbols of the bread and wine. That's what was done in biblical times.

“”Communion” is a bastardization of the original practice of observing the yearly passover with the symbols of the bread and wine.”

That’s a rather sacrilegious remark. It certainly isn’t what Christ said. And I’m sure that if He intended this NEW covenant to be called PASSOVER, He would have said so.

“1Co 11:24 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.
1Co 11:25 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.
1Co 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.
1Co 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
1Co 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
1Co 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.”
