Are you asking in reference to Easter?

Yes

1Co 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
1Co 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1Co 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do you, as oft as you drink it, in remembrance of me.
1Co 11:26 For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death till he come.

I do not believe Jesus intended that passover is replaced with the Lord's Supper. Passover is fulfilled completely. It is clear that Jesus said "as often as you do it", not confined to doing it to remember a specific time frame. Remembering the Lord's death till He come is 365 days a year, not just during Easter

I am familiar with the passages, and though I do not celebrate Easter, I am simply curious about your stance on the issue.
