It’s Maundy Thursday in many Christian churches, in honor of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples, and commanding them to love one another. We can tell who uses this commandment to become better, and who hates us all with the fire of a thousand suns. So I won’t belabor the point, but will just show the love, and the karma of hate, and the pointing and laughing, and the wonder, as usual.
I invite our WineRev to preach further, and to provide capacious (capacious I say!) foot washing facilities at today’s gathering.
Maundy Thursday or Holy Thursday, among other names,[note 1] is the day during Holy Week that commemorates the Washing of the Feet (Maundy) and Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles, as described in the canonical gospels.[1]
It is the fifth day of Holy Week, preceded by Holy Wednesday (Spy Wednesday) and followed by Good Friday.[2]"Maundy" comes from the Latin word mandatum, or commandment, reflecting Jesus' words "I give you a new commandment."[3] The date of the day will vary according to whether the Gregorian calendar or the Julian calendar is used. Eastern churches generally use the Julian system.
The complete mandate is
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
