Maundy Thursday

Christ’s “mandate” is commemorated on Maundy Thursday. “Maundy” is a shortened form of mandatum a Latin word that means “command.” This word appears in John 13:34 of the Latin translation of the Bible (The Vulgate). It was on the Thursday of Christ’s final week. He ate His final meal with the Disciples on that evening and then went to the nearby Garden of Gethsemane for prayer. It was there He was arrested. His crucifixion happened the next day. John , in his reporting of “The Last Supper” recorded Jesus as saying, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.” (John 13:34)
