We don't know when the Last Supper would have been without fixing the
year of the Crucifixion, so the date is an open question.
And Passover is determined by a fixed date in the Hebrew calendar,
Nisan 15. Because that calendar is lunisolar, that date tends to fall
around the Paschal full moon, but it is an approximation based on
calculations, not observation. Those calculations are different from
the Easter calculations, so sometimes yield different results. The
Gregorian correction is said to have been adjusted one day to
minimize Easter/Passover conjunctions.
