Maundy Thursday is the first of the three days of solemn remembrance of the events leading up to and immediately following the crucifixion of Jesus. On the night before his betrayal and arrest, Jesus gave his disciples a new commandment: to love one another as he had loved them (John 13:34).
We honor this night with a special communion service to remember Jesus' Last Supper.
