Come join us for this dramatic and ancient liturgy signifying Jesus' Last Supper with his disciples.  This evening is the first part of a three days long liturgy (in Latin - Triduum, meaning "three days") that begins with Jesus giving the mandate (mandatum, which is the root for maundy) to love one another as God loves us as symbolized in Jesus washing the disciples' feet.  Afterwards, Jesus dines with his disciples for the last time sharing with them that he is present in the bread and the wine ("This is my body/blood which is given for you.  Do this for the remembrance of me.") regardless of what is about to happen to him.  The liturgy concludes with the stripping of the altar and the beginning of the night long Garden Watch (this year 8 PM to Midnight), which reenacts Jesus' time of prayer with his disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane before being betrayed by Judas Iscariot.
