Maundy Thursday Service

  • Church of the Advent 1546 5th Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20001 United States (map)

Maundy Thursday receives its name from the mandatum (commandment) given by our Lord: “A new commandment I give you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another” (John 13:34). At the Last Supper, Jesus washed his disciples’ feet and commanded them to love and serve one another as he had done. This service commemorates the Lord’s example of servant ministry, the institution of the Eucharist, the agony of the Garden of Gethsemane, and the betrayal leading to the crucifixion.

There will be no childcare provided for this service. No livestream.
