Overview of Maundy Mass
Maundy Mass, also known as the Mass of the Lord's Supper, is a significant Christian liturgical service held on Maundy Thursday, which is the Thursday before Easter. This service commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with his disciples, where he instituted the Eucharist (Holy Communion) and demonstrated humility by washing the feet of his followers.
Key Elements of Maundy Mass
Eucharist: The central focus of the service, celebrating the sacrament of Holy Communion.
Washing of the Feet: A ritual that symbolizes Jesus' act of servitude and humility, often involving the participation of selected members of the congregation.
Stripping of the Altar: A symbolic act representing the abandonment of Jesus by his disciples, where the altar is stripped bare after the service.
