[1 ] Passover falls on the 14th day of the first month, Nissan. Unleavened Bread on day 15th, lasting for 7 days. Jesus / Yeshua fulfilled this feast. It is symbolic of His body - he was born in Bethlehem, (lit. Heb. 'the house of bread') - and is 'The Bread of Life.' To remain within the time constraints of this very feast he had only six hours on the cross. This was unusually short for this kind of execution. (Note that Jewish days are counted from sundown to sundown.)
