Passover, in our times, can fall between March 26 and April 25.

So, April 22 is towards the end of that scale, but not at the very end.

Others years, in recent times, Passover has been in late April.

So, last time it fell on April 22 wasn’t that long ago, viz., 2016. Just 8 years ago. Prior to that 1959. That was a 57-year gap. The longest gap in the last 200 years.

Please don’t ask me to explain how the date for Passover is calculated. I have NO clue. I have a hard enough time trying to work out how Easter is calculated.
