Different Christian denominations have different tradition in celebrating Maundy (or Holy) Thursday. The feast of Maundy (or Holy) Thursday commemorates the institution of the Eucharist (Holy Communion) at the Last Supper. 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 In Catholicism, there are two Masses on Holy Thursday: • The Bishop celebrates the Chrism Mass early in the day where the sacramental oils are blessed and distributed to each parish • Then the Evening Mass of Lord's Supper is celebrated in each parish
