HOLY THURSDAY

Holy thursday or Maundy thursday for catholics is the institution of the Eucharist. Meaning to say it was when Jesus had his last supper with his apostles and the it is when the breaking of the bread happened. During Holy Thursday or the last supper, the washing of the feet happened. At present, a reenactment of the washing of the washing of the feet was done after the priest says his homily. Twelve parishoners was chosen to act as the twelve apostle and have their foot wash by the presiding priest. This significant event reflects Jesus humility. Like Christ, may we humble ourselves before man and most especially before God.
