Exceptional The Last Supper Maundy Thursday by damommy

Maundy Thursday   Maundy Thursday is the day we celebrate Jesus’ last supper with His disciples, the last day of His life.  He told them that they were to love one another as He had loved them.  We call it the Golden Rule these days.   This is a serious statement.  ‘Maundy’ is a short version of the Latin word ‘mandatum,’ which means command.   So it was that Jesus commanded all of us to love each other as we love ourselves.   In an act of humility, Jesus washed the disciples’ feet and commanded them to do the same for each other.  Some churches practice this, also.   Tonight, many altars will be stripped of their beautiful cloths, and everything is draped in purple for Good Friday, the day Christ was crucified.  Vigils will be held until the Day of Resurrection, or Easter.   The word Easter is from the Old English ‘eastre,’ the goddess of spring.  This is so fitting as it a new beginning for us all.  Jesus rose from the dead, and promised that we, too, will have eternal life with Him.   Recognized
