On Maundy Thursday, many Christian churches commemorate the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples. Services often include the ceremonial washing of feet, symbolizing humility and service, as Jesus did for his disciples. Additionally, the Eucharist or Holy Communion is celebrated, reflecting on the institution of this sacrament. Many congregations also partake in Tenebrae services, which involve the gradual extinguishing of candles to symbolize the coming darkness of Good Friday.
