Why is Maundy Thursday just about going to church?
The celebrations of Christmas and Easter have almost nothing to do with the religious ideas that they are founded on. Our society takes advantage of the fact that Christianity has given us two happy holidays, and we gain an excuse to celebrate. But Maundy Thursday (aka Holy Thursday) is founded on less joyous religious ideas, so we cannot use the holiday to establish any secular celebration. Thus, our only means to celebrate Holy Thursday are by acts of reverence and by contemplating the meaning of the ideas behind the holiday. But is it really possible to contemplate the meaning of Holy Thursday? Probably not. Its meanings are rather simple; there is little to contemplate. So our celebration of Holy Thursday is limited to reverence, which for most believers, simply means attending church. Some might argue that we could celebrate Holy Thursday by putting into action Jesus's commandment to "wash the feet" of other people, but I would say that that is not a celebration. It is a lifestyle that would probably not originate solely from the teachings of one religious holiday.
