Today is Maundy Thursday.
“‘Maundy’ comes from the Latin word, ‘mandafum,’ which means mandate,” said the Rev. Michael Lawler, pastor of Brundidge United Methodist Church. ‘“Do this in remembrance of me’ was a mandate or commandment of Jesus as He and his disciples were eating the final meal before he was arrested. On Maundy Thursday, we commemorate the supper Jesus shared with his disciples before he was crucified. This was the institution of the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper.”
