Christians believe that Jesus rose on the 3rd day after being crucified.  Passover is the most important Jewish Festival also celebrated by Christians as well to remember the liberation of the Children of Israel who were led out of Egypt by Moses.

1st Corinthians 15:3-8 For What I received I passed on to you as of first important: that Christ died. for our sins according to the scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures.
