Maunday Thursday is one of the celebrations during Holy Week that may include foot washing and/or the partaking of the Last Supper. The order of worship is adapted from the Holy Bible and can be found in these scriptures: Matthew 26:20-30; Mark 14:17-26; Luke 22:7-38; and John 13. The Last Supper, however, is one of the ordinances observed quite frequently in the Christian faith throughout the year as it is a remembrance of the body and blood of Jesus Christ that was sacrificed for the remission of sin. What separates Maunday Thursday from the observation of the Last Supper is the foot washing, however, it is not uncommon to include the elements of the Eucharist. The order of service is commonly coordinated by the pastor, priest, or leaders of the Christian church. The term Maunday is derived from the latin term "Mandatum" which is included in the latin statement, "Mandatum novum do vobis ut diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos" which means, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another as i have loved you." Maunday is a reflection of the second greatest commandment that can be found in Matthew 22:39, "Love your neighbor as yourself." This great command is what the Disciples of Christ are commissioned to do and it is a sign of a true follower of Jesus Christ. In the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) it is told that the disciples were asking who was the greatest among them and Jesus Christ indicated that because they are called to serve they would be considered the least. Therefore, Jesus Christ washed the feet of his disciples so as to set an example of servitude and to teach them the true meaning of humility.
