This is your yearly reminder that if you are not Jewish, it is INAPPROPRIATE to host a "Christian" Passover seder!
Judaism is a closed religion and culture and Passover has specific ethnic and cultural significance to the Jewish people -- it's the celebration of our exodus from slavery in Egypt. Regardless of how historical that claim actually is (and most Jews don't believe the Torah is historically accurate, ftr), it's deeply symbolic and important to us as a people.
Also, Jesus's last supper was not a seder, if that's why you want to host one. The tradition we follow today originated about a thousand years after he died. His celebration looked much, much different -- and he was Jewish. You are not. The new covenant outlined in the New Testament nullifies the Covenant of Abraham that holds you to Jewish law and connects you to the Jewish people.
So, please don't have a "Christian Passover". There is no good reason to.
