Pastors Corner: Where does 'Maundy' Thursday originate?

Next Thursday, April 6, many Christian churches host a "Maundy Thursday" worship which remembers the events of the last meal Jesus of Nazareth ate with his disciples, popularly called the Last Supper. Preceding their Passover meal, Jesus washed the disciples' feet as an example of servant leadership and love he expected from each of them toward others (John 13). Then, Jesus used the Passover meal's bread and wine to explain the meaning of his anticipated death on the cross, instructing his disciples to continue this practice, "in remembrance of me" (Matthew 26:26-30).
