Was the Last Supper the Passover Feast?

So we had some interesting discussions in the weekly Quiz around the question of whether the Last Supper was the Passover Feast. The four options were:

a. Absolutely yes
b. Absolutely no
c. Cannot be certain by scripture alone
d. Maybe yes, maybe no, but what difference does it make?

This is a very good question and I want to raise it here in the Forum so that we can talk about it as a community.

Yes, Yehoshua is the Passover Lamb, In 1-Cornthians 5:6-8 Shaul Paul talk about this.

The Messiah gave his life as the Passover on the Passover, the 14th day of the 1st month. Passover meal is eaten in the evening/night on the first day of unleavened bread, the 15th day of the 1st month.
