I would have to strongly disagree with your interpretation.
Luk 22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18: For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body Jesus which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
You see there in beginning verse 15, Jesus has a desire to have Passover with the disciples. After this passover was over, he wont have a passover and drink the fruit of the vine again until the Kingdom of God comes. Then Jesus took the bread and the wine, and give it to the disciples. Then he said, "do this in remembrance of me." So you have to look at this way...When do they partake the bread and the wine during Passover? During the Passover! It is pretty clear in context. When passover comes, and when you partake the bread and the wine during passover, what did Jesus wanted to remember? Remember him! Because he is the passover lamb! Just like Israel remember that God delivered the children of Israel from the bondage of Egypt with His out stretch arm, and the same way, we would remember that Jesus has delivered us from bondage of sin.
As I said, if you wish to partake of the Lords Supper only n Passover, you are free to do so. But if you try to enforce that on others saying they sin or violate Gods Law- you are wrong!
They celebrated it on Passover for it was part of the Passover meal. That is all! Jesus said as often as you do this- He did not command it to be observed only on Passover.
Paul in 1 Corinthians 11 said to the Corinthians that when they were gathering together which shows they gathered more than once a year!
Let me repeat it again, from Romans 14:
4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
If you hold Passover as special that is your right and privilege in the Lord! Just do not try to impose your liberty on others who would not hold to a particular day!
