Maundy Thursday is so meaningful, and the service is always memorable. We remember the humble act of Jesus washing the disciples’ feet and contrast that with seeking of power and control over others. We celebrate the initiation of the ritual communion and end the evening with the somber readings of the stories of this holy night. We call this Tenebrae which means “darkening” as the sanctuary becomes darker symbolizing how the events around Jesus are becoming more and more bleak. The readings end with Jesus’ arrest.
