Holy Thursday

In the Catholic Church, today is the start of the holy triduum which starts with Holy Thursday, Good Friday and ends with Easter.

Today commemorates the last supper of Jesus Christ with his twelve disciples. The washing of the feet is also a traditional component of the celebration. This is to commemorate the act done by Jesus when he washed the feet of his disciples.

Holy Thursday also marks the end of Lent, which is a 40-day fasting for Catholics.


Have a blessed Thursday people!
