Annually celebrated, ‘Maundy Thursday’ is the fifth day of the Holy Week prior to Good Friday. It is the day that is attributed to the loving memory of Jesus Christ’s Last Supper with his apostles. This Christian day also referred to as the Great and Holy Thursday commemorates the event wherein Jesus washed his disciples’ feet and urged them to love one another.
Succeeding the Spy Wednesday, as it falls on the Thursday before Easter, Maundy Thursday or Holy Thursday derives its name Maundy from ‘mandatum’ meaning commandment. The Bible explains Christ’s institution of the Eucharist during his Last Supper.
