Tonight, we gather at 6:30 pm to begin the Great Triduum, a single liturgy spanning Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. Maundy is the Latin word for command (mandatum), referring to the command Jesus gave his disciples to love one another on the night Christ washed the disciples’ feet and transformed the Passover meal. This part of the Triduum invites us to participate in this mandate by washing each other’s feet. The evening also celebrates the institution of the Holy Eucharist. Following communion, a time of watching, waiting, and contemplating begins, as the altar and sanctuary are stripped bare, commemorating Christ, who was stripped of his clothes. Live stream available.
