On Maundy Thursday we remember Jesus sharing his Last Supper with his disciples, instituting the celebration of the Eucharist. Following his teaching we celebrate the Eucharist in remembrance of him. At this supper, Jesus gave his greatest commandment that we should love one another as he has loved us; and so during this service feet are washed by the clergy as an example of Christian humility and service. 

Following the service there is a silent watch or vigil, throughout the night, between 9pm and 9am.
