This year also feels extraordinary for the Jewish and Assyrian communities of faith, as for the first time since 33 A.D., the Pesach Seder (Passover Dinner), which corresponds to the Last Supper in Catholic traditions, fell on the exact same day (Wednesday evening). 2026 marks the first such occurrence in the modern era under the calendars of both faiths, given there have been no instances of the full triple alignment (full moon + Pesach/15 Nisan beginning at sunset + Holy Thursday in the earlier Catholic sunset reckoning) on a Wednesday night since 33 A.D.

The Jews had 2 calendars they used and I do know which one they were using when they were writing the NT but since the Bible states the Passover is always on the 14th day of the First Month of the Holy calendar, I would suppose for it to be a Wednesday crucifixion the were using the national calendar. Who knows?
