Holy Thursday Explained
April 9th, 2009
Easter is here. Most people are aware of it, whether you’re a Christian or not. Did you know that Holy Thursday, which is the day before Good Friday is the day of Jesus Christ’s Last Supper? The last meal that Jesus shared with his Apostles before he was crucified, the Institution of the Holy Eucharist and the Sacrament of Ordination are commemorated today as Holy Thursday.
Holy Thursday (also known as Maundy Thursday) is also the beginning of Triduum – the three days immediately preceding Easter. For Christians, Triduum is the most sacred part of the year. It’s the heart of Holy Week, the feast of feasts, the most sacred part of the Church’s liturgical year. Have a great Holy Thursday and a Happy Easter.
