The sermon at the Maundy Thursday service this evening was really powerful, and explained more about the passage in John where Jesus washed the disciples' feet. For some reason I always thought "maundy" somehow meant mourning. What I found out is that maundy roughly translates to mandate or command. That makes much more sense. Maundy Thursday is the day set aside to remember the Last Supper & the mandate that Christ gave us to, "Love one another, as I have loved you."
It is moving (and honestly a bit uncomfortable) to see the black cloth draped across the alter in the church with the crown of thorns sitting there. It's a very visible reminder of the tremendous sacrifice Christ made for us.
