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.

What does the Night Vigil symbolize at Maundy Thursday?
The night vigil on Maundy Thursday was the beginning of Jesus' passion. Jesus and the Diciples has already had the Last Supper, and frankly the Disciples were full and content. Jesus asked the Disciples to stay up and watch while he went into the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. Jesus was very distressed because he knew he was going to be crucified, and he knew what a painful death that was going to be. He asked only that the Disciples stay up and "watch" with him. He needed support, friendship, love. And he got none of those. Their failure is ours -- they fell asleep. Hence Jesus' famous saying: "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." You can't really blame the Disciples, they just wanted a warm bed and some sleep. Jesus knew otherwise, and that is the symbolic act. At Jesus' most dire hour -- when he could have said no to crucifixion, but chose to say yes, where were the Disciples? Asleep. Just like us.
What happened when you always have a dream about going to church?
The meaning of this dream depends on the dreamer's feelings about church. Is the dreamer an active member? A "back-slider"? Does church cause the dreamer to feel deeply guilty and rejected or deeply loved and "at home"? The dream is not about going to church as such, but about something else in the dreamer's life that feels just the same as going to church.
What is the meaning of maunday?
Maundy in the term 'Maundy Thursday' (and what a delightfully old fashioned way of saying it! I've never seen it except in old books - we all call it 'Holy Thursday' here) comes from the Latin "Mandatum" as in "Commandment". The reference is to when Jesus washed the feet of his disciplines, and tells them " I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have loved you."(see John 13:34). In the Latin vulgate this sentence is "Mandatum novum do vobis ut diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos ut et vos diligatis invicem", and it is from that phrase that the day derives its name.
