WHEN should the Christian Passover be taken?

Nisan 14? Nisan 15? At Evening? In the Afternoon?
The date for the Passover is often debated. The basic dispute surrounds whether the symbols of the Passover
service, the bread and wine, should be observed on the night of Nisan (or Abib) fourteen, or on Nisan fifteen. Some sincerely believe that the symbols of accepting Christ's sacrifice should be taken on Nisan fifteen, the date the Jews observe their
Passover meal, but which traditionally has been called "the Night to Be Much Observed (Remembered)."
