Today is Maundy Thursday which commemorates the actions of Jesus day before Good Friday. The word "maundy" is a Latin word meaning "commandment".
Maundy Thursday observes The Last Supper, Jesus washing the feet of his Disciples, and the first Holy Communion.
Our Church will be holding a special service tonight in observance of Maundy Thursday. Some churches offer a service which includes Communion as well as the washing of parishioner's feet. Other churches also include a pot luck dinner after in observance of The Last Supper.
