What is Maundy Thursday - Holy Thursday

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you" the statement by Jesus in the Gospel of John

Maundy Thursday is the Thursday of Holy Week (the Thursday before Easter). It was the day on which Jesus celebrated the Passover with his disciples, sharing a meal with them which we call the Last Supper.

In those days it was usual for a servant to wash the guests feet on arrival. On this occasion there was no servant present and none of the disciples volunteered to do the menial task. Instead, Jesus got up and washed his disciples feet, giving them an object lesson in humility and service. Join us at St Dunstans at 6pm
