Holy Thursday / Maundy Thursday

Holy Thursday is the institution of Communion and the betrayal by Judas. Communion is the feast or holy day on the Thursday before Easter that commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles.

The washing of the Disciples' feet by Jesus Christ; The institution of the Mystery of the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper; The agony of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane; and the betrayal of Christ by Judas are the four events commemorated during Holy Thursday.

The evening celebration of these events marks the beginning of what is called the Easter Triduum or Sacred Triduum. The Latin word "triduum" means a three-day period, and the triduum in question is that of the three days from the death to the resurrection of Jesus.
