Maundy Thursday

Maundy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper, where Jesus shared a meal with his disciples before his crucifixion. The term “Maundy” is derived from the Latin word “mandatum,” meaning commandment, referring to Jesus’ commandment to love one another. During this poignant service, Christians reflect on the significance of communion and Jesus’ act of washing his disciples’ feet as a gesture of humility and service.

Stations of the Cross

The Stations of the Cross have formed part of Christian devotion at Passiontide for many centuries. They originated when early Christians visited Jerusalem and wanted to follow literally in the footsteps of Jesus, tracing the path from Pilate’s house to Calvary. They would pause for prayer and devotion at various points.
