Holy Wednesday and Maundy Thursday

I've always been curious what Maundy Thursday was so I looked it up. Maundy comes from a French word that means to give. It is used to refer to Jesus washing the apostles' feet and also the tradition of giving benevolent offerings to the poor. Othodox Christians call today Holy Wednesday and Maundy Thursday focuses on four things. (1) It is the day leading to the passover meal that evening which would become our Lord's supper. (2) It's a time to remember Jesus washing the apostles' feet as an example of servanthood. (3) Jesus's prayer at Gethsemane took place that evening and (4) Judas betrayed him that same evening. Following his arrest, Jesus spent most of the evening standing trial and then on Friday morning was sent before Pontius Pilate, Herod Antipas, flogged and crucified at about 9:00am. He was dead by about 3:00pm and then hurridly buried before sundown. Lastly and most importantly he rose again Sunday morning and then ascended 40 days after that. Take time to reflect on these things during this passion week. God Bless.
