Before the Last Supper, it was the day that the Passover must be sacrificed, that being the 14th day of the first month.
When Jesus' body was interred it was the Day of Preparation, also and still being the 14th day of the first month.

In any of the known Hebrew calendars, the fourteenth is the day that the Passover must be sacrificed. (PS)
In the Temple Rite, the 14th (PS) is the Day of Preparation. The 15th is Passover and the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread.
In the Torah Rite, the 14th (PS) is Passover. The 15th is the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread.
In the Samaritan Rite, the 14th (PS) is Passover and the first Day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread.
In each of the rites, the 14th is not a Sabbath, the fifteenth is.
Which of the three rites do Luke and Mark indicate would have been the Passover rite observed (or matched) by Jesus and his disciples? Mark 14:12, Luke 22:7 for the answer.
According to the majority consensus, Jesus and his disciples would have observed the Temple's Passover Rite. Why would anyone paying attention to the Biblical record think the same?
Majority consensus also has it that John says the meal was eaten before the Passover*. The Passover is eaten on the fifteenth, John's record shows that the meal was eaten on the fourteenth. What day do Luke and Mark claim that that Jesus and his disciples ate the Passover? The fifteenth? A Sabbath, and by Mark and Luke's records, the day after Jesus was buried?
* He says no such thing, but that is a matter of grammar. It makes no practical difference though, because Jesus and his disciples at their Passover meal before the Jews even made their own sacrifices.
