Maundy Thursday

Christians mark Maundy Thursday, which commemorates the Last Supper, every year on the Thursday before Easter, March 28.  It’s also know as Holy Thursday, Covenant Thursday, and the Thursday of Mysteries in various traditions.

Maundy refers to the foot-washing Jesus provided the apostles prior to the Last Supper. Christians around the world, especially Catholics, mark the day with a special mass and prayers.

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

How to Observe Maundy Thursday

Go to church: Christian churches celebrate with a special mass and prayers. Even if you're not a Christian or a believer, you can learn a lot about one of the more important days on the Christian calendar by visiting a local Christian church.

Learn the story: Holy Wednesday and Maundy Thursday represent the beginning of the transformational story of the death and resurrection of Jesus. We're all better off if we deepen our understanding of the faith traditions of others. Pick up a book or watch a documentary that highlights the importance of Maundy Thursday within Christianity.

Spend the day being humble: Maundy Thursday is a great opportunity to remind ourselves of the importance of humility. Regardless of your own faith traditions, use Maundy Thursday to check yourself throughout the day for signs that you could always use a bit more humility in your life.

Maundy Thursday Around The World

Czech Republic and Slovakia: Maundy Thursday in local parlance translates to Green Thursday, when meals are prepared primarily from fresh, green vegetables.

Kerala State, India: Unleavened Pehasa bread is made in homes and consumed with coconut milk.

Sweden: Maundy Thursday is connected to old folklore as the day of the witches. Similar to Halloween, children dress up as witches and go door-to-door collecting coins or candy.

Bulgaria: Bulgarians color Easter eggs and clean their houses in preparation for what they call Crucifixion Friday.

Luxembourg: Church bells fall silent on Maundy Thursday until Easter, marking a symbolic migration to Rome for confession.

Why Maundy Thursday is Important

Strong traditions: Holy Week is one of the more important celebrations on the Christian Calendar, and Maundy Thursday is a key day of the week. Christian traditions from around the globe, from Armenia to Africa to Germany, mark the day with special masses and prayers.

It celebrates humility: The washing of the disciples' feet by Jesus was intended to be a sign of humility. Jesus was humbling himself before his own servants as a last gesture before knowing he was to be crucified. Masses on this day now highlight the importance of humility in the Christian faith.

It ties Christian denominations together: Christian faiths celebrate Maundy Thursday throughout the world. Part of its tradition, which carries into Good Friday, is for observers to visit 14 different Christian churches, one for each station of the cross. It unifies the Christian church regardless of region or country.

i know i'm really dumb but i've JUST (after 4 years of listening to JCS) (please don't laugh at me) realized that "everytime i look at you i don't understand why'd you let the things you did get so out of hand? you could've managed better if you'd had it planned" are the last words that judas said to jesus and that's why "superstar" starts exactly with these words

Don't come to me with that bullshit. You know I loved Itachi like a son, but Kishimoto has the final say in these things. And as for Gege? We don't fw Gege. I fear what he may be capable of.

Who's this Gege? Surely he can't compare to the almighty-

Did I stutter? This is why no one likes you, Judas. Always asking stupid fucking questions. The man could break me like bread.

I have a question about Catholic Communion being a closed practice? I understand the belief about the real presence of the Eucharist, and the idea that Jesus and sin cannot coexist in the body, therefore you must be in a state of grace, but... Judas was at the Last Supper, yes? And Jesus did not withhold from him the bread and the wine? Judas was there in a state of mortal sin, was he not? Is there anything in the Catechism or Church writings that addresses that? Thank you :)

Yes, Thomas Aquinas actually covers this question in the Summa Theologia. He argues that Judas Iscariot did receive Communion during the Last Supper, and this was because Judas was a "hidden sinner" (occultum peccatorem), "without an accuser or evident proof."

He argues here that Christ has set precedence for future priests; unless the sinful defiance of a member of the Church is public in nature, a priest should not deny him Communion. (Nonetheless, for Judas and for any other secret sinners, eating of the Eucharist invokes judgement on themselves).

You can read this in Part III, Question 81.
