Mark 14:12, And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, . . . .
Two reasons. It was the day before Christ crucified and 6 days before cannot be a Sabbath. John 12:1-2, . . . they made him a supper; and Martha served: . . . .

The only input I offer is that Jesus was still crucified on Passover because of the order of the day in Jewish culture. The evening begins the “day.” So at the beginning of the day of Passover, they observed the Passover and that night, Jesus was arrested and crucified the same day.
So I see Jesus as being crucified on the day of Passover but hours after it had already been observed.

If you see anything different, I would be interested to know what.

Which would be the 15th of Nisan.
After Mark 14:12-17. That evening precedes it's day.
