Maundy Thursday is observed
annually during Holy Week on the Thursday before Easter. Also referred to as
"Holy Thursday" or "Great Thursday" in some Christian denominations, Maundy
Thursday commemorates the Last Supper when Jesus shared the Passover meal with
his disciples on the night before he was crucified. In contrast to joyful Easter
celebrations when Christians worship their resurrected Savior, Maundy Thursday services
are typically more solemn occasions, marked by the shadow of Jesus' betrayal. [
