Maundy Thursday Eucharist & Stripping of the Altar

Maundy Thursday marks the beginning of the Holy Triduum, the three-day liturgical sequence that recalls the passion, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the Maundy Thursday liturgy, we commemorate the Last Supper and the tradition of the Mandatum novum(New Commandment), as the clergy ceremonially wash the feet of the People.
