The word "maundy" comes from the Latin word mandatum (commandment) which is the first word that Jesus spoke to His apostles after He washed their feet (John 13:34): • "Mandátum novum do vobis dicit Dóminus, ut diligátis ínvicem, sicut diléxi vos." • "I give you a new commandment: Love one another as I have loved you." The biblical the events of the first Holy Thursday were: • The eating of the Easter lamb or the paschal meal • The washing of the disciple's feet • The institution of the Most Holy Eucharist . • The first Mass at which Jesus Christ is the eternal high priest . • The first Communion of the apostles . • The first conferring of Holy Orders • The foretelling of Judas' betrayal and Peter's denials • The farewell discourse and priestly prayer of Jesus • The agony and capture of Jesus in the Garden of Olives

What is the Ambry in the Catholic church?
The Ambry is the place where the Holy Oils and the Oil of Chrism are stored. In some Churches the Ambry is used for reservation of the blessed sacrament. An ambry is in essence a smaller typically less ornate version of a tabernacle. Often times the Ambry is set in a wall or into the altar, like some tabernacles are. In many Episcopal and Anglican Churches the Blessed Sacrament is reserved in the Ambry and Holy Oils and Oil of Chrism is reserved in the sacristy cabinets. Many modern Catholic Churches tend to reserve the Eucharist in an ambry rather than a tabernacle.
