What is Maundy Thursday?
Maundy Thursday remembers the last supper, where Jesus washed his disciples' feet and gave a new commandment, that you love one another. The word maundy comes from that command, and the day holds the tenderness of Christ serving his own on the night before he died.
In the Word
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.John 13:34 (KJV)
How it is observed
Many churches share communion and wash feet, remembering the servant love Jesus showed and asked of us.
The Thursday of Holy Week, also called Holy Thursday.
