Maundy Thursday, also known as Holy Thursday, is almost here, and Christians around the world are gearing up to observe this holy day. This day marks the beginning of Jesus Christ's passion, crucifixion, and resurrection. Every year, it is observed on the fifth day of the Holy Week -- a day before Good Friday. This year, it falls on April 2.
It is an important festival for Christians worldwide, observed to commemorate the last supper of Jesus Christ with his apostles before his crucifixion. Jesus has a new commandant to his disciples on this day. It was to love one another.
Most Christians observe this day by holding special church services and other traditions, including washing 12 parishioners' feet as a symbolic act, reflecting the kind gesture of Jesus Christ, who washed the feet of his 12 apostles before his last supper with them.
Christians from various parts of the world, including the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Singapore, the UK, Europe, Denmark, Rome, Spain, South Africa, Nigeria, and France, celebrate this day by attending holy mass, having a meal together, greeting, messaging, and wishing family and friends.
The word Maundy is derived from the Latin word mandatum. It means command. Some traditions followed on this day include a Tenebrae service, a Seder Supper, and stripping the sanctuary. The devotees often partake in a simple meal of bread and wine on this day.
