Maundy Thursday

Maundy Thursday, or Holy Thursday, commemorates Jesus' Last Supper with his disciples, marking the institution of the Eucharist (Communion) and his commandment to love one another, derived from the Latin "mandatum" (commandment). Celebrated during Holy Week, it focuses on Jesus' acts of humility, like washing feet, and concludes with his betrayal and arrest, with services often including foot-washing ceremonies and solemn communion services.
