Step into the powerful events of Holy Thursday, a day the Church holds in profound reverence. Journey with us to the Upper Room as Jesus gathers with His disciples to share the Passover meal, a moment that would forever change the course of history with the institution of Holy Communion. Witness the extraordinary display of humility as the Lord of all washes the feet of His disciples, a profound lesson in service and love that continues to resonate today.
We'll explore how this "Passover Thursday," as Father Bishoy Kamel calls it, foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice. Liturgically, Thursday is a vibrant day, beginning with incense and culminating in the unique liturgy of the blessing of water (Lakan) and a special liturgy commemorating the Last Supper. We'll also touch on the solemn procession recalling the betrayal of Judas.
