Let me get a bit further on in my reply to dear Ronald about the day that the Passover was celebrated when Jesus was crucified.
Does it really matter? Maybe. Why?
If John is accurate (and I believe so) about that Passover was on Jew's Saturday (our Friday to Saturday evening) and Jews had that meal on Friday evening (actually Jew's Saturday since their day started from our Friday evening), then what kind of bread Jesus and His disciples ate that night? Unleavend or leavend?. There are two answers as below:
a. Leavend, since Jews were to start making unleavend bread the following morning, so that evening (Thursday evening) there wasn't any unleavend bread available
b. Jesus may have actually ordered unleavend bread to be made for Him and His disciples for their supper since that supper was actually a Passover meal done a day earlier.
Does it matter what kind of bread they ate? Yes it does. As we know Jesus performed the first Holly Communion during that supper. So what kind of bread did He use?
All of the Eastern Orthodox Churches use leavend bread in their Communion believing that the right answer is the "a." above
The church I am a member of uses unleavend bread in our Communion, but we haven't really dealt with this topic.
So your church what kind of bread use for the Holly Communion (or as you call it otherwise)? Leavend or unleavend?
Unleavened is without yeast. Leavened is with yeast.
Jesus would be the sacrifice for the sins of the world. He would become sin in the flesh. You are correct to say leavened.
One of the most profound examples of the perfect view of His holiness through His sacrifice, given to us through the bread and wine!
The yeast is the leaven that leavens the whole lump! This is how the sin nature works in us. How sin grows, into an unnatural condition. A bloating uncomfortable uncommon, condition. Sin condition! Unpeaceful, out-of-the-way, quick filling, easy to make!
The unleavened soul is the pure seed, the pure flour. This soul is without sin (yeast), could only become the experiance in the righteousness of its creator. Pure undefiled, one with the Father.
Leavened bread or not, if the flour you have is measured with the word of God, it will become the meat you need, sanctified by His word.
The flour is the word, when mixed with the water that flows from Christ, becomes the bread of life, leavened and unleveaned.
Take eat this is my body, given for you for the remission of sin.
Sanctified by these words, faith in His atoneing sacrifice, recieveing the forgiveness of sin, we have peace with God!

I hope I haven't confused you.
