It's a Mitzva to not do Melacha (certain types of work) on the first day of Passover.
Work involving food preparation is allowed, within certain parameters.
Lighting fires from an existing flame as well as carrying without an Eruv is allowed.
Outside Israel this applies to the first 2 days of Pessach, by Rabbinic decree.
Applies to everybody, everywhere, always
Verse: "The first day shall be a sacred Holiday" (Vayikra 23:7)
