Maundy Thursday

April 9, 2009

The Maundy Thursday service is one of the most powerful services of the entire year. The service includes a foot washing ceremony, following Jesus’ example in John 13; Holy Communion, following Jesus’ commandment on the night in which He was betrayed; and the stripping of the altar and removal of the Presence to the Altar of Repose. The Vigil at the Altar of Repose begins at the end of the Maundy Thursday service and continues until Easter morning.

Here are photos from last year’s Maundy Thursday service.
