Christian observance of Passover

In modern times, some Christian groups have adopted the practice of observing the Jewish holiday of Passover in some form. These include the Assemblies of Yahweh, Messianic Jews, and some congregations of the Church of God (Seventh Day). Their observances often involve a version of the Passover Seder, adapted to draw theological connections between the Exodus story and the life and death of Jesus Christ.

This practice is regarded by many as an inappropriate cultural appropriation of Jewish ritual for non-Jewish purposes. It is distinct from traditional Christian Holy Week observances such as Maundy Thursday—which commemorates the Last Supper—and Easter.
