What is holy Thursday like in Church?
Holy Thursday is more commonly called Maundy Thursday in English speaking churches, and traditions vary between denominations and among individual congregations. In Mainline Protestant churches, a Maundy Thursday worship service is usually a subdued, solemn service, with readings from one of the accounts of the Last Supper from the Gospels (Luke 22: 1-38,) along with readings from the Last Discourse from John 15 - 17, and perhaps Paul's instructions in 1 Corinthians 11:17 - 34, with Communion ("the Lord's Supper" or "Eucharist") being the central point of the service.A Maundy Thursday service usually would include the account of Christ in the Garden on the Mount of Olives, his betrayal and arrest, Peter's denial, and the trials before the priests, Herod, and Pilot; Luke 22 -23:25.Many mainline congregations combine Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services into one, so both the Last Supper and the Crucifixion are celebrated on Thursday, and the Crucifixion texts would also be read; Luke 23:26-56.Typical music might include "Let Us Break Bread Together on Our Knees," "Be Known to Us In Breaking Bread," "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," "Were You There," "Beneath the Cross of Jesus," and "O Sacred Head Now Wounded."
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.
