Maundy Thursday

The Thursday before Easter is known as ‘Maundy Thursday’.  It is remembered by Christians as the day of the Last Supper, when Jesus washed the feet of his disciples and established the ceremony known as the Eucharist. Jesus is believed to have washed the disciples’ feet before the meal in order to demonstrate the importance of serving others.

The word “Maundy” itself comes to us as an Anglo-French word derived from the Latin “mandatum,” which means “commandment.”

The night of Maundy Thursday is the night on which Jesus was betrayed by Judas in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Enjoy the Easter weekend and please stay safe.
