About Maundy Thursday
Maundy Thursday, also called Holy Thursday, is the Thursday before Easter. Christians remember the Last Supper, when Jesus shared bread and wine with his disciples and washed their feet, the origin of the Eucharist. In several countries with a strong Catholic or Lutheran tradition it is a public holiday.
Traditions
Churches hold evening services recalling the Last Supper, often including a ceremony of foot washing. In many places the altar is stripped afterwards and some people visit several churches during the night. For many families it also begins a long Easter break.
