/ˈmôndē/
Noun
The Thursday before Easter, observed in the Christian Church as a commemoration of the Last Supper.
Tonight at our church we had Maundy Thursday service in a different setting and I was so moved by it. We started our evening with an Agape Meal similar to how they would have ate then. We had mostly finger foods like vegetables, fruit, cheese curds, nuts, flatbread, pulled chicken and Charoset. We had beautiful tables set up with purple table clothes and enjoyed the meal with others at our tables. Then communion was also served at our tables by each other to each other, we were to serve and be served. I thought it was a very meaningful version of communion. I came away from the evening feeling very in touch with how the Last Supper must have been like.
