John 19:31 KJV 31. The Jews therefore,*because it was the preparation,*that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,)*besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
High Sabbaths or high day as written in John are the feasts recorded in the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy. In Numbers 28:24-25 God commands Israel to offer various sacrifices during the Feast of Unleavened Bread: "In this way prepare the food for the offering made by fire every day for seven days as an aroma pleasing to Yahweh; it is to be prepared in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering. On the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. Passover is never called a Sabbath or High Day.
The Hebrew word for service is No. 5656, abodah in Strong’s Concordance, and is defined as "work of any kind." How could the Passover be a Sabbath when the Hebrew word that depicts the Passover means to engage in work? Work is strictly prohibited on a Sabbath or Feast High Day. In Exodus 12:25-26 and Exodus 13:5 Passover is called a "service."
Conclusion... The Passover is not the High Day. The first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread is.
