Maundy Thursday

Also known as Holy Thursday, Maundy Thursday commemorates Christ's Last Supper with His disciples on the eve before His death on the cross. The name comes from the Latin mandatum, commandment.

In England, the sovereign traditionally distributes alms to the poor on this day, a custom which derives from Christ's washing of His disciples' feet in an act of love and charity. The Catholic Maundy liturgy still includes the ceremonial washing of twelve members' feet.

Most denominations celebrate Maundy Thursday to one degree or another, usually with an evening service that includes Holy Communion.

Maundy marks a significant milestone in Christianity's holiest season, which extends from Lent through Easter Sunday, three days hence.
