MAUNDY THURSDAY

BASIC R.C. BELIEF

Maundy: Latin, command. It gets its name from the command to wash one

another's feet. The Pope, every year on Maundy Thursday, publicly washes

the feet of 12 seminarians as a demonstration of his humility (John 13:14).

On Maundy Thursday, Holy Oil is blessed by the Bishops.

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

A converted Roman Catholic told me that, in her parish, on Maundy Thursday,

a Jewish Passover meal (Seder) was observed. It is possible that this was

done for ecumenical purposes.
