What Is Maundy Thursday?
Today is Maundy Thursday, the day we remember the Last Supper—when Jesus shared a final meal with His disciples before His crucifixion. The word “Maundy” comes from the Latin “mandatum,” meaning commandment. It reminds us of Jesus’ words: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just as I have loved you” (John 13:34).
On this night, Jesus washed His disciples’ feet, showed the depth of His love, and gave us the gift of Holy Communion. Maundy Thursday invites us to pause, reflect, and remember the humility, sacrifice, and love of our Savior.
