Does anyone have contact with jewish people which could give the DAY of
the week and date on which Passover fell between 20 AD and 50 AD?

The passover was on the 14th of the month regardless of the day of the
week. This was based on a lunar cycle, the 1st being that day of the
new moon. They would position spotters high in the city and when the
moon was seen, as a tiny sliver, rising then the trumpets were blown
and this trumpet blast indicated the start of the new year. Ten days
later was when each household brought in to it a lamb. And on the 14
between the evenings the lamb was slain. Because this is based on a
lunar cycle passover would fall on the night of the full moon exactly
1/2 lunar cycle from the new moon. The lunar cycles can be tracted
exactly with any low cost astronomy program for your pc. By the way
passover was on wednesday in 33 a.d.
