Maundy Thursday is the day when Christians remember the Last Supper, when Jesus celebrated the Passover meal with his disciples before being betrayed and arrested.
During the meal, Jesus took and blessed bread and wine and shared them with his disciples, calling the bread and wine his body and blood.

He urged the disciples to do the same after his death in memory of him, and indeed Christians have done so ever since at Holy Communion – also known as the Eucharist, The Lord’s Supper or Mass.

Maundy Thursday takes its name from the Latin word ‘mandatum’ meaning commandment. During the supper Jesus told his disciples: “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.” (John 13 v 34 –NRSV).
He also got up from the table and poured a basin of water and washed the disciples' feet. This was the act of a servant. He also told them to do the same for others.

All-age service for Good Friday

Good Friday is the most sombre day of the Christian calendar when the crucifixion and death of Jesus is commemorated in churches and cathedrals.
Church services on Good Friday may begin or end at 3pm – the time when Jesus is believed to have died on the cross – and are traditionally stark and bare, marking the solemnity of the occasion.

There will be a reading of the Passion and in some churches there will be a moment when people venerate the cross. Congregations traditionally leave church in silence at the end of the service.

A service of Joy, depth and beauty, celebrating our Risen Lord. There will be renewal of baptism vows and the first Eucharist of Easter.

A joy-filled service to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord.
