Holy Communion with Stripping of Altars

for 1 hour
St Mary the Virgin
Vicarage Lane Selling Faversham, ME139RD, United Kingdom

The first day in the Paschal Triduum, on Maundy Thursday our service begins as a festival, when we recall Jesus instituting the Holy Communion during the Paschal meal with his disciples. By the end of the service, the church is stripped of all decoration to bare wooden altars, before we symbolically desert Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.
