Maundy Thursday is a Christian holy day commemorating the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with his disciples before his crucifixion. The name "Maundy" is derived from the Latin Word "mandatum," meaning "command," referring to Jesus' command to love one another.

Many churches hold special services that include communion and reflection on the events leading up to Good Friday.
