Trying to get it to match up with Passover isn't important.Yes it is. The solemnities of the Christian pasch are fulfillment of the Jewish Passover, whose full moon enabled the Israelites' travel out of Egypt by both night and day. Conforming to this, Christians are reminded of the urgency with which we are called to escape death and cross over into life.

Good point. The whole Paschal Liturgy is jam-packed with Judaism.
