Maundy Thursday, which is also known as Holy Thursday, the Passover or the last supper, has been celebrated since the earliest days of the Christian church. This day commemorates Jesus’ last supper with His disciples and the institution of the Lord’s supper which is the Holy Eucharist. This day also commemorates Jesus’ institution of the Holy Roman Catholic priesthood. Jesus was betrayed on the night of Maundy Thursday by Judas in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Meaning if Maundy Thursday
Maundy Thursday, from the old Latin name, “dies Mandatum,” referring to the command given by Christ at the Last supper; that we should love one another, before He washed the feet of His disciples.
Normally, during mass, catholic mass servers or altar boys and ladies ring bells during consecration. However, on Holy Thursday and Good Friday (which precedes Holy Thursday), the catholic churches do not ring bells, they fall silent until Easter. The place of the bells is taken by rattles and other noisemakers, which call the faithful service. “The bells have flown to Rome,” people will say.
In the Holy Roman catholic church, Maundy Thursday begins the Pascal Triduum. The Pascal Triduum is a great period in the catholic church. The Pascal Triduum is a three-day series of events that is very much important to Catholics and their catholic faith. These events are; Holy Thursday (of which we celebrate today), Good Friday (which will be tomorrow) and Holy Saturday (the day after Good Friday). In the Pascal Triduum, Catholics are advised to remain and observe “a great silent” (magnum silentium).
Today is Maundy Thursday, Jesus is the God. He is the Messiah, He is our savior, He died some 2021 years ago. Today, we are commemorating what happened some 2021 years ago. During this day in some 2021 years ago, Jesus was preparing for His death; His death brought life to us all. It was by His death that we can all be saved. Just as silence has been observed for the past years during this period, I encourage as all to observe absolute silence in this Pascal Triduum, starting from Today, even as we go about with our daily affairs
