Jesus celebrated the Last Supper on the Jewish Passover festival; that is, the 14th of the first month, called Nisanfrom the Jewish calendar.
The detail is that this calendar is lunar and has 354 days, while the current calendar is solar and has 365 days, which is why it was difficult to match the dates.
Furthermore, every 4 years the Jews intercalated a month into their calendar by decision of the Sanhedrin. All this led to several controversies among Christians to define the date of Easter. Even in some areas the death of Jesus was remembered on March 25 and the resurrection on the 27th.
