Why do Christians celebrate the Passover? Of what significance is the Passover to them?
What is the significance of the Passover as recorded in the Old Testament and why were they commanded to remember it?
.....
But I ask, in light of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, should we continue to be applying his blood in the same manner as the blood of the Passover Lamb, in that it protects us from the angel of death? The Passover as it was remembered in the book of Exodus was an old covenant remembrance, should that same remembrance apply toward those under the new covenant?
.....
The significance of the blood of the Passover lamb was that it would cause the Angel of Death to pass you by. Much the same as the annual sacrifice under the Old Testament laws, where a sacrifice was offered once yearly to cover the sins of the people, that the Angel of Death might be stayed. But is that what the blood of Christ does for us? Is that how we continue to use the sacrifice and the blood of Christ?
In the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, do we use his to blood keep the Angel of Death from us? For in his death and resurrection we are baptized into his Death, crucified with him on the cross. Christ has become the angel of death for us, that through his death we might partake of his resurrected life. Jesus said in the Gospels, those who seek to save their lives, shall lose it; those who lose their lives for his sake shall find it.

So as a Christian living under the new covenant, of what benefit is the remembrance of Passover to you?
let's also not omit the unleavened bread which represents the faith without heresies, i.e. without: misbeliefs, false persuasions, distorted interpretations of the Scripture, wrong spiritual practices and activities, and wrong rituals/rites and traditions, because Jesus Christ gathered His disciples for the last supper on the day of passover not in vain, for it is the day in which the tradition since the time of Moses ordains the worshipers to eat only unleavened bread as a remembrance of the fact that they should not commit unrighteousness/lawlessness in faith like the egyption worshipers/idolaters, because God had brought them out of egypt exactly because of the great spiritual iniquity which had been done there in the form of occultism and idolatry at that time, and likewise the followers/disciples of Jesus and worshipers of the New Testament also should not commit spiritual unrighteousness/lawlessness, that is why, then, when He gave them a bread to eat, He said to them: "This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me."(Luke 22:19), also, then He gave them a wine to drink by saying: "This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you."(Luke 22:20), so the right exercise of the faith is the "bread" according to the New Testament appearing as a promise of God, a hope for something better than the old, and a New doctrine and precept which is the "wine", so it turns out that somewhat nothing is changed but only the Testament, which is not inconsequential, because there is a very significant renewal, for all the inimical ordinances of the covenant have officially been annulled forever(Colossians 2:14-15), and therefore He said: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world."(John 6:32-33), as for the "angel of death", if it comes to deterioration of the life that God has determined and established from the beginning, then it would be right and appropriate to say there is no death in the true Lord God, neither did He ever use the services of the "darkness" for any purpose, but you are right about the then situation in egypt, the blood of the sacrificial lamb had really saved their lives
