Maundy Thursday

April 2 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

7:00 PM in the New Chapel: Washing of Feet, Holy Eucharist, and Stripping of the Altar

The liturgy of Maundy Thursday, observed on the Thursday in Holy Week, is the first service of the Triduum,
the three holy days leading up to Easter. The word “maundy” comes from the Latin mandatum, referring to
the “new commandment” Jesus gave to his disciples on the night he was betrayed. The Gospel of John also
describes, on that same night, Jesus’ institution of the Holy Eucharist and his washing of the disciples’ feet.

The Maundy Thursday service includes the sacrament of foot washing. At its heart, foot washing is meant to remind us to follow in Jesus’ example of humility and service of others.

This service will be followed by the stripping of the altar.
