It’s Maundy Thursday today, marking a crucial day in the unravelling of the Holy Week, leading to Easter Sunday.

Catholic churches observe Easter Triduum, the three days prior to Easter Sunday, as a period of special prayers. Starting with the mass on Maundy Thursday, the period concludes with prayers on the day that commemorates the resurrection of Christ, Easter Sunday.

Maundy Thursday is the day when Christians re-live the last supper that Christ had with his disciples. The priest washes the feet of elders of the parish. Jesus washed his disciples’ feet during his final meal before his arrest, as a mark of humility. He meant the gesture as one that encouraged his disciples to serve others, in a spirit of servanthood. The act symbolises the service and charity of Christ, who came ‘not to be served, but to serve’
