What do we know about the Council of Nicaea's ban of celebrating the Lord's Supper on the day before Passover?

I was reading the wiki on Constantine the Great and was struck by this passage:
>More significantly, in 325 he summoned the First Council of Nicaea, most known for its dealing with Arianism and for instituting the Nicene Creed. **He enforced the council's prohibition against celebrating the Lord's Supper on the day before the Jewish Passover, which marked a definite break of Christianity from the Judaic tradition.** From then on, the solar Julian Calendar was given precedence over the lunisolar Hebrew Calendar among the Christian churches of the Roman Empire.
The footnote points to this source but it seems not to say anything about the "Lord's Supper" or Passover at all:

Was there such an edict and if so, where might it be documented?
