Maundy Thursday
Tomorrow is Good Friday.
Which I suppose makes today Maundy Thursday. I just found out for the first time what that means.
Apparently, Maundy is derived from the word "Mandatum" - or mandate - which Jesus gave us to love one another.
Traditionally in England, the reiging monarch would wash the feet of the poor on Maundy Thursday. They stopped doing that in the 18th century, although I'm not sure why.
