Holy Thursday

Maundy Thursday is the Christian feast or holy day on the Thursdays before Thursday that commemorate the last supper of Jesus Christ when he shared a Passover meal with his disciples on the night before he was crucified, before the Passover meal, Jesus washed the feet of the disciples and during the meal. Jesus took the bread and wine and asked his father to bless it, this is why many churches hold communion services as part of their holy Thursday celebrations .
It is the 5th day of Holy Week, proceeded by Holy Wednesday and followed by Good Friday. The disciples of Jesus were originally involved in this celebration.
